I was only asking John to confirm the "-i" flag. Since I was unable to
find such a flag mentioned in the man page, there was an outside chance
it might have been a typo.
For some reason, I've never had anything that refused to "eject".. so I
was not going to hunt down all past, current, and future versions of the
eject program and check their manuals, changes, documentation bugs, etc.
When I saw all the replies, before I looked at their contents, I said to
myself, now how could three innocent characters have elicited such quick
and fairly voluminous response - hence my :-/ skepticism¹.
