  i think the simplest format is to just specify "[OPTIONS]" in the
command synopsis, and list the options below.  for example:

adjtimex

    adjtimex [OPTIONS]

    Reads and optionally sets ...

    Options:
	(option list)


  it seems redundant to list the options in two places, but that's
just my opinion.
