overrides.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.I --add <user> <group> <mode> <file>
+.I \-\-add <user> <group> <mode> <file>
Add an override for \fB<file>\fR. \fB<file>\fR does not need to exist
when this command is used; the override will be stored and used later.
Users and groups can be specified by their name (for example \fBroot\fR
or \fBnobody\fR), or by their number by prepending the number with a
`\fB#\fR' (for example \fB#0\fR or \fB#65534\fR).
.TP
-.I --remove <file>
+.I \-\-remove <file>
Remove an override for \fB<file>\fR.
.TP
-.I --list [<glob-pattern>]
+.I \-\-list [<glob-pattern>]
List all overrides. If a glob pattern is specified restrict the output
to overrides which match the glob. If there are no overrides or none
match the glob \fBdpkg-statoverride\fR will exit with an exitcode of 1.
.TP
-.I --force
+.I \-\-force
Force an action, even if a sanity check would otherwise prohibit it.
This is necessary to override an existing override.
.TP
-.I --update
+.I \-\-update
Immediately try to change the file to the new owner and mode if it
-exists. This is only done for \fI--add\fR.
