Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

The man page for evince shows a command line with some option, that do not exist:

SYNTAX
       evince [--help] [--usage] [--page-label=<label>] [--quit] [file‐
       name(s)...]

The option --usage and --quit are neither described in the subsequent text nor they seem to work (could not figure out a case where this options were applicable, e.g. 'evince --usage' gives:

Cannot parse arguments: Unbekannte Option --usage

('Unbekannte Option' = 'unknown option')
