.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.B \-a, \--alloptions
-Enable all options for all loaded plugins
+.B \-l, \--list-plugins
+This will list all available plugins showing which ones will be enabled by the current configuration. It will also show all plugin options which can be
+modified using the -k option (see below).
.TP
-.B \-f, \--fastoptions
-Enable all options marked as "fast" for loaded plugins. This will

-you may be asked to re-run later with some or all "slow" options
-enabled depending on the specific issue.
+.B \-n, --skip-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
+Do not load specified plugin(s). To specify multiple plugins, separate them with a comma.
.TP
-.B \-g, \--gatheronly

-send it to any support site. This option currently has no effect as
-sosreport currently does not support report transmission.

+Enable the specified plugin(s). To specify multiple plugins, separate them with a comma.
.TP
-.B \-l, \--list-plugins

+.B \-a, \--alloptions
