None taken.  I kinda felt like the subject in that comic when I looked
"-f" up in the man page and finally found the section that documents
it... Oops.

Then again, I have sat down to read the bash man page probably 10
different times, and have yet to finish reading it... bloody thing could
be bound as a book, I'd imagine.
