$ wpa_supplicant usage: wpa_supplicant [-BddhKLqqstuvW] [-P<pid file>] [-g<global ctrl>] \ [-G<group>] \ -i<ifname> -c<config file> [-C<ctrl>] [-D<driver>] [-p<driver_param>] \ [-b<br_ifname>] [-e<entropy file>] [-f<debug file>] \ [-o<override driver>] [-O<override ctrl>] \ [-N -i<ifname> -c<conf> [-C<ctrl>] [-D<driver>] \ [-m<P2P Device config file>] \ [-p<driver_param>] [-b<br_ifname>] [-I<config file>] ...] So please change the man page: <wpa_supplicant [ -BddfhKLqqsTtuvW ] [ -iifname ] [ -cconfig file ] [ -Ddriver ] [ -PPID_file ] [ -foutput file ] >wpa_supplicant [ -BddfhKLqqsTtuvW ] -iifname -cconfig file [ -Ddriver >] [ -PPID_file ] [ -foutput file ] Because -c and -i are not "optional" but required. By the way you say -PPID_file so say -cconfig_file not -cconfig file. Also e.g., -c config_file looks smarter than -cconfig_file and works too! So maybe add that space after all of them.
