I received following suggestion:

Thanks, but that's not the point. I have also a manual on the hard
disk. However, how can I be sure that this are the same options - there
are possibly more versions of badblocks. I am reporting an
inconsistence in the documentation. The program shows it has these
options, but doesn't say what they are for. It could be dangerous,
since this is a program which can write to the disk.

I have one more:

du has a manual page that doesn't reflect the current version in
tomsrtbt. There are more options listed.
