Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

The man page of totem mentions the --usage option.

OPTIONS
       --usage
              Output a brief synopsis of command options then quit.

       -?, --help
              Output a longer help message then quit.

However, when applying this option it reports it is unknown:
$ totem --usage
Unknown option --usage
Run 'totem --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

So, either the --usage option is not supported anymore and is stated wrong in the man page, or there is a bug in totem.

there's no such option in totem, it needs to be removed from the manual.
