In Syslinux 6.03 -> libinstaller/syslxopt.c:


 #n 50: const struct option long_options[] = {
...
 #n 60:     {"raid-mode", 0, NULL, 'r'},
...
 #n105:     fprintf(stderr,
...
 #n112:	    "  --raid       -r  Fall back to the next device on boot failure\n"


Comparing line #60 vs. line #112:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/libinstaller/syslxopt.c?id=syslinux-6.03#n60
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/libinstaller/syslxopt.c?id=syslinux-6.03#n112

Which one is the correct "long" option for users to type in?
Is it "--raid-mode", or "--raid"?

FWIW, I have always seen "--raid" in user's documentation 
(wiki, manpages, text docs...), but the "--raid-mode" term 
has been present for a long time (e.g. v.3.86 in a different 
source code file, probably prior versions too).

TIA,
Ady.
