Regrettably, this is *not* the way/place to document this.

The true source of the man page is upstream in an internal repo. The `.1` file here is a derived file that will get overridden.
See this hint at the top of the file:

The edit needs to be applied by an Oracle engineer with access to the upstream source. (Sorry about this.)
