Here's some of my usual nitpicking ;)

The \- is not needed in these two cases, as it's just a hyphen.  You
do need it for the option name, though.  Also please start the
sentence with a capital letter and end with period.

You should start new sentences on a new line in the man page.  The
same thing about the hyphen applies.

Write MB in both cases, not MB and Mb.
