No, it doesn't help. What the hell do any of that first group of options
do? What units is SIZE in? What happens to files too big to fit in SIZE
- Do they get reported? Do they get silently ignored?

And that's just off the top of my head in about 10 seconds.

I think some of that might be worth saying. A usage statement that's
mostly incomprehensible isn't all that useful, oddly. :-)
