The manual page was last modified on 29 August 2010.  Important
moments in its history:

 - some time before 24 January 1990, when most of the current text was
   written

 - 13 December 2005, when a patch by Mike Frysinger was applied
   documenting some more options

The header line is somewhat arbitrary.  If you have a good idea for
what it should contain (in the form of nroff markup), I wouldn't be
surprised if it gets used.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
