Here you are using the substring abbreviation --files for --files0-from. Which is fine. But what if someday the --files-from option is added? My preference would be to make the example be unique in that case too and to use at least --files0=- there. Actually when I read the example I expected to see it be using a non-null terminated files from option. I had to go look at the code to verify that it did no exist to know for sure that it was using the substring abbreviation for the --files0 flavor.
