The man pages are automatically generated by a program help2man which
uses the program's --help output to create a syntax reference.  As
long as the program's --help output is kept up to date with the
program's options then the man page automatically tracks.  Therefore
the man page will generally be the same as the --help output.  This
makes a resonable syntax reference but is very terse.  The info pages
can go into more detail and be a more usable user guide.
