You are right!

# echo /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/*options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/ia64-options /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options
# 

So I get it now:
 poudriere options -c -j <jail> category/port
will write under /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jail>-options

while
 poudriere options -c category/port
will write under /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options

So then
 poudriere bulk -j <jail> -f ...
will pull the <jail> options, and not the generic options

Very clever!

Many thanks
