The man page for nc has been taken straight from the debian nc package. The debian version of the nc binary supports the -q option, however the binary shipped by MDK *doesnt* support -q. But -q is listed in the manpage supplied by MDK. Is it possible to remove the -q entry from the manpage shipped with the MDK version of nc?
