 .SH OPTIONS
-.IP "--auto"
-Run in automatic, non-interactive mode. Assume default answers to all
-questions. Note that this isn't necessarily safe as the internal logic may
-lead to potentially dangerous probes being attempted. See the WARNING section
-below.
-.IP "--stat"
+.IP \-\-auto
+Run in automatic, non-interactive mode.
+Assume default answers to all questions.
+Note that this isn't necessarily safe
+as the internal logic may lead to potentially dangerous probes being attempted.
+See the WARNING section below.
+.IP \-\-stat
 Display I2C address statistics.

 .SH WARNING
-sensors-detect needs to access the hardware for most of the chip detections.
-By definition, it doesn't know which chips are there before it manages to
-identify them. This means that it can access chips in a way these chips do
-not like, causing problems ranging from SMBus lockup to permanent hardware
-damage (a rare case, thankfully.)
-
-The authors made their best to make the detection as safe as possible, and
-it turns out to work just fine in most cases, however it is impossible to
-guarantee that sensors-detect will not lock or kill a specific system. So,
-as a rule of thumb, you should not run sensors-detect on production servers,
-and you should not run sensors-detect if can't afford replacing a random
-part of your system. Also, it is recommended to not force a detection step
-which would have been skipped by default, unless you know what you are doing.
