       -V, --version
              Print  the program version number, tell whether the 'readline' 
library has been included, tell whether UTF-8
              support has been included; give the locale, the location of the 
default units data file, and the location of
              the personal units data file; indicate if the personal units data 
file does not exist.

       When given in combination with the '--terse' option, the program prints 
only the version number and exits.

       When  given  in combination with the '--verbose' option, the program, 
the '--version' option has the same effect as
       the '--info' option below.

                                  UNITS(1)

the line GNU FREE DOCUMENTATION LICENSE appears, but then there is FILES
jammed after it.

then AUTHOR is empty.

By the way, e.g., --terse mentions --quiet but --quiet doesn't mention
terse, etc. and without examples, the user must test each one to see
what output looks like.

And non say how to get just the value.
