 Usage: bsdconfig @PROGRAM_NAME@ [OPTIONS]
 
 OPTIONS:
-	-h         Print usage statement and exit.
+	-d         Provide lots of debugging info on standard-out when running.
+	-D file    Send debugging info to file. If file begins with a plus-sign
+	           debug info is sent to both standard-out and file (minus the
+	           leading plus).
+	-h         Print this usage statement and exit.
 	-S         Secure X11 mode (implies `-X'). As root, always prompt-for
 	           and validate sudo(8) username/password before starting.
 	-X         Use Xdialog(1) in place of dialog(1).
