dpkg install

[Nori Heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

from the dpgk(8) manpage, ll. 119-123:

ACTIONS
       dpkg -i | --install package_file...
              Install the package. If --recursive or -R option is
              specified,  package_file  must refer to a directory
              instead.

shouldn't this be either 

dpgk -i package_file.deb

OR

dpgk --install package_file.deb

?  as i'm understanding it (which may not be too well), the command dpkg -i is
piped to --install package_file, to which bash rightly responds: 

bash: --install: command not found

(i have successfully installed my package, i'm just wondering about this
seeming discrepancy.)
