I recall looking for one several years ago ;)

mkimage -h shows more invocation variants than "mkimage [OPTIONS]":

mkimage -l IMAGE

mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d DATAFILE[:DATAFILE...] IMAGE

..suggesting certain OPTIONS are not [optional].

s/can also be/is used to/ ?

s/mkimage lists/list/

Set target architecture.  If architecture is invalid, mkimage will list
target architectures it supports.

-O and the rest could use the same kind of fix as above - mkimage
doesn't specifically check for "-O -h".

also, an example would be nice if possible :)

Thanks,
