  GRUB(8)
  
  It is part of grub-pc package and it shows up as
  
  /usr/share/man/man8/update-grub.8.gz
  
- Now if one looks at the manpage at Debian then get some good information
+ Also doing update-grub doesn't give much information about the options.
+ 
+ ~$ update-grub --help
+ Usage: /usr/sbin/update-grub [OPTION]
+ Generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg
+ 
+   -h, --help              print this message and exit
+   -v, --version           print the version information and exit
+   -y                      ignored for compatibility
+ 
+ 
+ Now if one looks at the manpage at Debian then get some good information 
  
  http://wiki.debian.org/Grub/update-grub.manpage

  variables rather than the update-grub script. That's a bit confusing.
  
  There should ideally be an update-grub2 manpage which has the manpage as
- given by debian and a manpage of grub1 .
+ given by debian and a manpage of grub1.
