 .SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -59,6 +59,8 @@ Prints a help text
 Evaluates all `set' statements in the configuration file. You must probably
 be `root' to do this. If this parameter is not specified, no `set' statement
 is evaluated.
+.IP -A
+Do not show adapter and algorithm for each chipset.
 .IP -u
 Treats all chips as unknown ones. Output will be of much lower quality;
 this option is only added for testing purposes.
