Interesting.

Looking at the number of users we have for get-maintainers now a days,
and then a number of people who feed its output it in some form to
cccmd, wouldn't it be worth documenting this somewhere in kernel
Documentation?

Honestly, I had no idea of using these options for tocmd and cccmd.
Will set them right away :)

Thanks a lot !!
