>Description:
Some man pages have weird synopsis sections.
For example, `man cp' gives:

: SYNOPSIS
:      cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fip] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L |
:      -P]] [-fip] source_file ... target_directory

I think it should be:

: SYNOPSIS
:      cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fip] source_file target_file
:      cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fip] source_file ... target_directory

At least, the following man pages have the same problems.

bin/cp/cp.1
bin/ps/ps.1
bin/rcp/rcp.1
sbin/ccdconfig/ccdconfig.8
sbin/disklabel/disklabel.8
sbin/fsck_msdos/fsck_msdos.8
sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.8
sbin/routed/rtquery/rtquery.8

>How-To-Repeat:
man cp ...

>Fix:
I don't know.
