Well it isn't in any of my 3B2 manuals.  These are the manuals that came
with System V R 1.something-or-other.  We found out by calling the AT&T
support center and they admitted that it was undocumented (at the time).
They may have changed documentation between release levels.

BTW, we got our 3B20's up and running a few weeks ago, and yes, the -f
flag is documented on that machine.
