Public bug reported:

The example 'echo help | ez-ipupdate -c -' mentioned in manpage doesn't
work. It results in

    -,1: unknown command: help
    commands are:
      address        usage: address=<ip address>
      cache-file     usage: cache-file=<cache file>
      cloak-title    usage: cloak-title=<title>

      resolv-period  usage: resolv-period=<time between failed resolve attempts>
      period         usage: period=<time between update attempts>
      url            usage: url=<url>
      user           usage: user=<user name>[:password]
      run-as-user    usage: run-as-user=<user>
      run-as-euser   usage: run-as-euser=<user> (this is not secure)
      wildcard       usage: wildcard
      quiet          usage: quiet
      connection-type usage: connection-type=<connection type>
      request        usage: request=<request uri>
      partner        usage: partner=<easydns partner>
    error parsing config file "-"

which is an acceptable workaround, but a list of options without program
failure would be better. Otherwise mention that this causes the program
to fail.
