            Bug ID: 290713
           Summary: --libxo option description often inadequate
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: philippe.michel7@free.fr
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

In commands man pages, --libxo is usually described as:

     --libxo
             Generate output via libxo(3) in a selection of different human
             and machine readable formats.  See xo_parse_args(3) for details
             on command line arguments.

but xo_parse_args(3) doesn't contain immediately useful information, merely a
redirection to xo_options(7).

What is used in uptime(1), and apparently only there, seems better:

     --libxo
             Generate output via libxo(3) in a selection of different human
             and machine readable formats.  See xo_options(7) for details on
             command line arguments.
