This is standard POSIX behaviour, so I doubt that it should go to each
utility's man page. It should be taught in Unix tutorials and

You know, this reminds me of a common saying about the Finnish

this isn't entirely true. However, it contains some truth, and
therefore one hears it occasionally -- it is a simplification.
