>Description:
	The pstat(8) usage message looks like
		usage: pstat [-Tfknstv] [-M core] [-N system]
	which makes k and n look like they're just options like
	the others.  In fact, they affect the interpretation of
	the other options, so should perhaps be separated.

	(This wouldn't have been so bad, except that I had an old
	pstat.0 in /usr/share/man/man1, from years ago, which was
	hiding the real documentation, which explains things.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run pstat with no arguments.
>Fix:
	No clue; the usage() format doesn't lend itself well to
	distinguishing between options of which at least one must
	be present, and options which are completely optional, and
	affect the interpretation of others.
