Update man page to reflect actual options. I would also like to reduce the # of options available.

I agree with lowering the number of options available. Were there any in particular you were thinking of removing/combining? I can see -u/-U going away when a package/port is available as the OS can handle the updates. I am not sure if -S is needed unless the user is running this on a very low powered system as it should be recommended to validate the signatures of the files before installing them.

I am confused by -s which says it forces the use of snapshots. Would this be redundant given the nature of the script, and that VER="snapshots" is hard coded?

Just my thoughts on the options, not saying any are bad or wrong.

Off the top of my head, that was the initial targets for sure. -s should have been removed long ago - as it was from when snap "worked" with releases (it never really worked, as ABI changes would cause it to die half way through an upgrade).

@qbit Finally getting back around to looking at this. How would you feel about having -u/-U combined, and having -S removed. I am not sure of a case where someone would not want to check signatures of the downloaded files.
