Bug Description
Binary package hint: unrtf
The man page for unrtf is quite terse. It should have an Example section showing how to use it.
The Synopsis section just says:
unrtf [options] [file...]
Options: [--nopict] [--html] [--text] [--vt] [--latex] [--ps] [--wpml] [--help] [--version]
Since unrtf is a programme that converts RTF files to other formats, one naturally thinks that there should be 2 files on the command line. However the synopsis doesn't show that. It was only after using it that I realised the output came out on the stdout.
