>Description:
-- dump(8) manpage synopsis doesn't require use of an option like the
program does. (An option is not optional!)
$ dump /dev/ad0s3e
dump: option requires an argument -- d
-- It also lists the wrong default /dev/sa0:
$ dump -a /dev/ad0s3e
...
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/nsa0".
-- Freebie: dump isn't restricted to just a tape unit so it doesn't
only have a "default tape unit". I changed wording.
