FYI, without the change below, the dd man page entries for
"directory" and all following flags were mangled:
direct use direct I/O for data
directory fail unless a directory dsync use synchronized I/O
for data sync likewise, but also for metadata nonblock use
non-blocking I/O noatime do not update access time noctty
do not assign controlling terminal from file nofollow do not
follow symlinks
Sending a USR1 signal to a running `dd' process makes it print I/O
statistics to standard error and then resume copying.
Now, its rendered like this:
direct use direct I/O for data
directory
fail unless a directory
dsync use synchronized I/O for data
sync likewise, but also for metadata
nonblock
use non-blocking I/O
noatime
do not update access time
noctty do not assign controlling terminal from file
nofollow
do not follow symlinks
Sending a USR1 signal to a running `dd' process makes it print I/O
statistics to standard error and then resume copying.

Subject: [PATCH] dd: adjust --help output so help2man formats the man page
properly
* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
"directory" from its description, so help2man formats
the derived man page properly.
