Okay. I will check with 'make htmldocs'

I will update other things according to your comments.

I thought  that we don't need to describe in more detail and 
user has to read eMMC Specification to understand what a RST_n_FUCTION is.

Because it's dangerous to use without exact understanding.

But I agreed yours..I will add description in more detail.

Right. I have been checking other sub-command.
There are too many commands, so i wonder that it needs to add the example of all command.
Because some commands have one-time programmable, it's difficult to change my eMMC's register.
