the file option prevents too long command lines: instead of providing hundreds of map names as input, only one file with the map names is provided

the manual is wrong:
Use the /file/ option to analyze large amount of raster maps without hitting open files limit and the size limit of command line arguments.

must be
Use the -z flag to analyze large amount of raster maps without hitting open files limit and the /file/ option to avoid hitting the size limit of command line arguments.


Ah, yes, I totally forgot about that flag. Thanks (also Anna and Veronica). Perhaps somebody with write permission can correct his in the manual page?
