Maybe that can be cleared up:
 -R  restart an update, skipping ports already up to date. Used with -r
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^
    or -f options.

Yes, I should've gathered what it meant when reading "or -f options", but I 
never read that far. Perhaps that could read "... already done in the previous 
run".

And with the above in EXAMPLES.

Gotcha. Is there a reason the flags are removed if the options are not "-r or 
-f"?
