>Description:
I was unable to make any sense of the descriptions of the -r
and -w options and how they interact. After having read the
source code, I propose a change (see below).
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Proposed new wording:
-w Update the in-core label if it has been changed.
-r In conjunction with -w, also update the on-disk label.
