Please look there for complete and up-to-date document= ation. This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do s= o; the Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of tim= e this man page takes away from other more useful projects. You are free to update it if you wan't.

One does not first look at the fine print. Compare man cpio. But then again compare man cat. Hmmm, on the bottom of man cat it says to see info coreutils 'cat invocation' but on the bottom of man cpio it doesn't say to see info cpio options but instead just info cpio.
