 .SH "NAME"
 
 finddup \- Find files common to two directories (or not)
 
 .SH "SYNOPSIS"
 
-\fBfinddup\fP [OPTION]... DIR1 [[^]DIR2]
+\fBfinddup\fP [OPTION]... DIR1 [[not:]DIR2]
 
 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 
-\fBfinddup\fP is a command line utility to find duplicate files, files
-common to two directories or files existing in one directory and not
-in another one.
-
-With a single directory argument, prints the duplicate files found in
-it. With two directories, prints the files common to both.
-
-If the second directory name starts with a ^, prints the files
-existing in DIR1 which do not exist in DIR2.
+With a single directory argument, \fBfinddup\fP prints the duplicated
+files found in it. With two directories, it prints either the files
+common to both DIR1 and DIR2, or with the `not:' prefix, the ones
+present in DIR1 and not in DIR2.
 
 .SH "OPTIONS"
 .TP
 \fB-h\fR
 display help and exit
 .TP
+\fB-d\fR
+ignore files and directories starting with a dot
+.TP
+\fB-c\fR

+do not show the file group IDs (one group for each content)
+.TP
+\fB-p\fR
+show progress information in stderr
+.TP
 \fB-r\fR

 .SH "BUGS"
 
-Every pair of different files with same content are listed, which
-results in K^2 printed lines when K files are similar.
+None known, probably many. Valgrind does not complain though.
+
+While not a bug per se, the format of the output should definitely be
+improved. Not clear how.
+
+.SH "EXAMPLES"

+which have a matching file with exact same content in
+.B ./something/
