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. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
