Bug Description

Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 LTS amd64
libcdio-utils: 2.1.0-3build1 amd64

The man page for cd-info libcdio-utils reads, in part,
       --no-cddb
              Does nothing since this program is not

       -P, --cddb-port=INT
              CDDB-enabled

       -H, --cddb-http

       --cddb-server=STRING

       --cddb-cache=STRING

       --cddb-email=STRING

       --no-cddb-cache

       --cddb-timeout=INT

The sentence fragment and missing descriptions were not expected. What was expected is something closer to the descriptions at
    https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-cd-info/
which are

--no-cddb
    Don't look up audio CDDB information or print it
-P, --cddb-port=INT
    CDDB port number to use (default 8880)
-H, --cddb-http
    Lookup CDDB via HTTP proxy (default no proxy)
--cddb-server=STRING
    CDDB server to contact for information (default: freedb.freedb.org)
--cddb-cache=STRING
    Location of CDDB cache directory (default ~/.cddbclient)
--cddb-email=STRING
    Email address to give CDDB server (default me [at] home)
--no-cddb-cache
    Disable caching of CDDB entries locally (default caches)
--cddb-timeout=INT
    CDDB timeout value in seconds (default 10 seconds)

Bonus point: If there were an example showing the use of these options with http://gnudb.gnudb.org as CDDB source, that would be awesome.
