Description Benno Schulenberg 2005-03-06 03:24:17 UTC
The convention for the Synopsis part of man pages is to put in bold 
what the user should type in literally, and in italics what should 
be replaced with something meaningful.  So the "--help" and "--version" 
options shouldn't be in italics, but in bold.  Attached patch makes this 
change.  It also gives the useful --resume thing a more prominent place, 
and shows that the --search thing takes an argument.  And it adds a few 
missing double spaces.
