>Description:

-- dump(8) manpage synopsis doesn't require use of an option like the
program does. (An option is not optional!)

    $ dump /dev/ad0s3e
    dump: option requires an argument -- d

-- It also lists the wrong default /dev/sa0:

    $ dump -a /dev/ad0s3e
    ...
    DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/nsa0".

-- Freebie: dump isn't restricted to just a tape unit so it doesn't
   only have a "default tape unit". I changed wording.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
