invalid option for 2.8.3 ossec-authd -k -v -x but documentation says they are there. Attached screenshot. Am I doing something wrong?

If you follow that screenshot, you can see what I mean. These options were added in 2.8.1, and I have 2.8.3 yet they are invalid. Am I missing something really simple here?

When in doubt, trust the binary:

[ddp@ix] :; pwd
/home/ddp/tmp/ossec-hids-2.8.3/src/os_auth
[ddp@ix] :; grep getopt *
main-client.c: while((c = getopt(argc, argv, "Vdhu:g:D:c:m:p:A:")) != -1)
main-server.c: while((c = getopt(argc, argv, "Vdhiu:g:D:c:m:p:")) != -1)
ssl-test.c: while((c = getopt(argc, argv, "h:p:")) != -1)

Or, I guess the documentation too:
https://ossec.github.io/docs/programs/ossec-authd.html#cmdoption-ossec-authd-v

Where in the documentation did you find a reference to 2.8.1? I'd like
to correct it.

Turns out I was missing something simple. I wasn't looking at the OFFICIAL documentation.

https://ossec-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/programs/ossec-authd.html

I really messed that one up. Sorry for wasting your time.

Not your fault. I'm sure there are many many references to the old
documentation out there still.
