Hello everyone,

This is the first time I am sumbitting an e-mail to this list so sorry if I
break any protocols.

I would like to propose an improvement to the LOGGER(1) entry:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=logger%281%29

Where it reads:

*-f*	*file*
	     Log the specified file.

For clarification it should read:

*-f*	*file*
	     Log the contents of specified file. This option cannot be
combined with a command-line message.

I struggled for some time with this parameter and only understood what was
going on after reading a GNU version:

http://praxis.edoceo.com/man/1/LOGGER

Searching on stackexchange and other sites I could see that mistaking the
meaning of this flag is quite common.

I hope this can be a positve contribuition.

Thanks,

Raphael Abreu
