For example, the -V option is documented but is unknown at execution. Reciprocally, --version is not documented but is functional at execution. Under FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT, the date at the end of the manual also seems older than expected, as the FreeBSD Manual Pages indicates a newer date for FreeBSD 11.2. I could edit awk.1 and copy/paste a patch to solve these but reviewing the whole manual may be better to eradicate other omissions. From the FreeBSD Manual Pages, I have found out that options (including -V) were introduced between 11.0 RELEASE and 11.1 RELEASE. By the way, choosing the "FreeBSD 12-current" manual on that web page actually gives the "FreeBSD 11.2" manual, seemingly. Best regards, Samy
