The texdoc --help message seems out of sync with reality (or something).
$ texdoc -v 9 symbols
texdoc version: 0.4+ svn r25 # obviously -v was interpreted as --version
$ texdoc --verbosity 9 symbols
texdoc error: unknown option: --verbosity
...
$ texdoc -V
texdoc error: unknown option: -V
Usage: texdoc -h, --help | -V, --version | -f, --files | [option(s)] name(s)
...
-V, --version Print the version of the program.
....
-v, --verbosity=N Set verbosity level to N.
Also, I strongly suggest that when there is an unknown option, texdoc
prints
Try `texdoc --help' for more information.
instead of the whole lengthy help message. (As with, e.g., cp --foo.)
