Balazs,

This patch adds the missing command line options
to the syslog-ng.8 manpage.

The patch also applies to syslog-ng 1.9.x
(he default syslog-ng.conf location still has
to be corrected).

Regards,
jpo

+.B \-C \0<directory>, \-\-chroot=<directory>
+Chroot to directory.
+.TP
+.B \-d, \-\-debug

+.B \-f \0<filename>, \-\-cfgfile=<filename>

+.B \-g \0<group>, \-\-group=<group>
+Switch to group.
+.TP
+.B \-p \0<filename>, \-\-pidfile=<filename>

 It is expected that \fBsyslog-ng\fP will run as root, however, if not running
 on a priviledged port of it it owned its own log directories, etc, it might
 run as a non-root user.
