>Description:
sysutils/adjustkernel doesn't show the -remove or -mesg options when run on its own, and the -debug and -file are shown in shortened form. The man page does say that the options can be shortened, but I feel it would be clearer if the program showed them in full form to prevent a "Why don't any of these options match?" moment.
>How-To-Repeat:
run adjustkernel and compare with the manpage.
>Fix:
Add the options description to adjustkernel.
