From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So in the documentation they had
As you can see the 's' doesn't get a '-' under it. So they changed the documentation to:
so the 's' in parameters gets a dash under it.
this seems to be the standard as everywhere else the dashes go for the same length of characters as the above line. Example:
The little girl said the 's' in parameters is sad because it didn't get the dash under it and it was all alone. So they added the dash.
