Thank you for the patch.
Some formatting and style changes should be done before I accept it.
First, the SECTIONS in man pages are usually terse and all upper case
(back to Unix man page style).  Why not just put the additional text as a second
paragraph on the part that explains the first option?

Also, please run all manual page submissions through a spell checker.
The ispell program is one option.

Please resubmit
