Here's the patch for the man page. I hope I followed the guidelines
correctly.

Since these options enable a very specific functionality, it's hard to
strike a balance between informing what it does and not being to verbose.
Someone wanting to use the feature probably still has to look at the code
(which is fine, IMHO, since it's only useful to coders) and so it's
questionable to include much specifics at all.

I hope I included all the necessary pointers to give a good idea of what
it's used for while not saying too much. I'm not sure if a more brief
description would be appropriate.

Greetings
Adrian
