From 1d3c3cb4c8b65c63df6280070ef6f0da7f5148d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Jensen Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 22:18:11 -0600 Subject: Correct description of -n/--numeric option "When used twice" was used twice in the manpage. :) And as Florian Westphal pointed out, it was also incorrect for the -nn case. Update the manpage and built-in help in main.c to match actual behavior.
