    DOXER: write "\-" in man page output instead of "-"
    
    Debian lintian output (this change fixes this problem):
    This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. By
    default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus
    signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means
    for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut and paste options, nor search
    for them easily.
