Description:
For ndb_mgmd, we have the --config-file option for the configuration file but --configdir for the configuration directory. The option names should follow a consistent pattern.

How to repeat:
See output of ndb_mgmd --help.

Suggested fix:
Change "--configdir" to "--config-dir" so that the names are consistent.
