With this command, I could see options in bash ubuntu, but I can't for several days and i have to go to the website to accses it(https://htseq.readthedocs.io/en/release_0.11.1/count.html).

Thanks in advance.

I replicated your problem with htseq-count v1.99.2. Using a more recent version (e.g. 2.0.2) shows the full help when you use -h. .
