Hi,

Here is a list of issues when the --help output is not correctly
formatted to generate correct manpages with help2man.


=== missing spaces ===

chgrp.1
  --no-preserve-root do not treat ‘/’ specially (the default)
cp.1
  --strip-trailing-slashes remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE
    argument
csplit.1
  -b, --suffix-format=FORMAT use sprintf FORMAT instead of %02d
date.1
  - (hyphen) do not pad the field
  _ (underscore) pad with spaces
  0 (zero) pad with zeros
  ^ use upper case if possible
  # use opposite case if possible
dd.1
  fdatasync physically write output file data before finishing
df.1
  -B, --block-size=SIZE use SIZE-byte blocks
dir.1, ls.1, vdir.1
  --indicator-style=WORD append indicator with style WORD to entry names:
du.1
  --exclude=PATTERN Exclude files that match PATTERN.
  --time-style=STYLE show times using style STYLE:
install.1
  --backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file
  -S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
  -P, --preserve_context (SELinux) Preserve security context
join.1
  -i, --ignore-case ignore differences in case when comparing fields
mkdir.1
  -Z, --context=CONTEXT (SELinux) set security context to CONTEXT
pr.1
  -t, --omit-header omit page headers and trailers
unexpand.1
  --first-only convert only leading sequences of blanks (overrides -a)
uniq.1
  -D, --all-repeated[=delimit-method] print all duplicate lines
                        delimit-method={none(default),prepend,separate}
                        Delimiting is done with blank lines.



=== too many spaces ===

dd.1
  sync      pad every input block with NULs to ibs-size; when used
              with block or unblock, pad with spaces rather than NULs
nl.1
  pBRE      number only lines that contain a match for the basic regular
              expression, BRE
printf.1
  %b      ARGUMENT as a string with `\' escapes interpreted,
            except that octal escapes are of the form \0 or \0NNN
rm.1
  -d, --directory       unlink FILE, even if it is a non-empty directory
                          (super-user only; this works only if your system
                           supports `unlink' for nonempty directories)
shred.1
  * log-structured or journaled file systems, such as those supplied with
    AIX and Solaris (and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, Ext3, etc.)

  * file systems that write redundant data and carry on even if some writes
    fail, such as RAID-based file systems

  * file systems that cache in temporary locations, such as NFS
    version 3 clients



=== various problems ===
ptx.1
  -t, --typeset-mode               - not implemented -
stat.1
  %C - Security context in SELinux
