It is a "man" page file. The number (.1) indicates the section of the manual
pages that it comes from. Type "man man" for more information on the manual
system.
Its a very old format, almost certainly implemented by "groff" on your system.
Read the man pages for "groff" and "groff_man" for more information on the
processing system and the format.
In general, you should update this file whenever you add or change a user-
visible option. Its basically the usage documentation, so if usage changes,
then the documentation should change.
