Hello

I noticed a problem in the "man unlink" page.

The OPTIONS section is missing, and the Options are listed in the
DESCRIPTION section.  Could the OPTIONS section be added?

Thank you, Jonny

I presume you're comparing with rm(1)?
Though note for coreutils, an OPTIONS section is the exception:

$ grep OPTIONS man/*.x
man/chmod.x:.SH OPTIONS
man/chown.x:.SH OPTIONS
man/df.x:.SH OPTIONS
man/rm.x:.SH OPTIONS

Is this really an issue though?
I suppose more structure might help tools like the mooted
explain(1) that could be a new tool provided by man.

cheers,
Pádraig

Hello
I did compare rm(1) and also man(1) which have OPTIONS

But ls(1) doesn't, just has DESCRIPTION

Nor sure what the standard is, however OPTIONS for the -a params etc seems better to me :)
