I used to `jcmd help <cmd>` option to compare the help text with the manpage text and adjusted the manpage accordingly (and found a few more omissions - some of which will be fixed by follow up RFE by the respective owners).

Looks good.

Trivially can note that here in jcmd.1 VM.flags says "Prints the VM flag..." while diagnosticCommand.hpp says: "Print VM flag...".  
We could make it consistent, but not important.
"Print" maybe in the minority compared to "Prints", but we have some of each. 8-)
