See "emacs --help" and the Emacs user manual for a better description.

I don't see a need to invest efforts in making the man page better.
We prefer the Info manual and the on-line help for a reason.

So I'm closing this bug report.

$ man emacs
    -u user, --user=user
                      Load user's init file.

Add:
        instead of yours.
Or:
        in addition to yours.
