Documentation: Ambiguity regarding repeated options

Open andrewbaxter opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

It wasn't clear to me reading the man page whether --talk could be specified multiple times. Earlier in the page it says

When options are used multiple times, the last option wins, unless otherwise specified

This may be specific to "options" and not "proxy options", but there's no other indication whether proxy options can be repeated. Also the example only shows each option being used once.

For my use case, I'd like to believe that --talk can be repeated (without overriding previous incantations).

See, talk, own, call and broadcast do indeed not override previous instances but add an additional policy. Patches welcome.
