these options aren't shown:

**-a, --all
-d, --dirname
--first-time
--force-vermagic
--force-modversion
-f, --force
-R, --resolve-alias
-S, --set-version
--show-depends
-s, --syslog

        *modprobe *[*-v*] [*-V*] [*-C */config-file/] [*-n*] [*-i*] [*-q*] [*-b*] [/modulename/]
                 [/module parameters/...]

        *modprobe *[-r] [*-v*] [*-n*] [*-i*] [/modulename/...]

        *modprobe *[-c]

        *modprobe *[--dump-modversions] [/filename/]


I don't know; is the SYNOPSIS just out of date, or are these options
that can be used anywhere?
