-Force full status dump every \fItime\fR period passed. When the unit is omitted,
-the value is interpreted in seconds.
+Force a full status dump of cumulative (from job start) values at \fItime\fR
+intervals. This option does *not* provide per-period measurements. So
+values such as bandwidth are running averages. When the time unit is omitted,

Only run specified section \fIname\fR in job file. Multiple sections can be specified.

+.SH JSON OUTPUT
+The \fBjson\fR output format is intended to be both human readable and convenient
+for automated parsing. For the most part its sections mirror those of the
+\fBnormal\fR output. The \fBruntime\fR value is reported in msec and the \fBbw\fR value is
+reported in 1024 bytes per second units.

.SH JSON+ OUTPUT
The \fBjson+\fR output format is identical to the \fBjson\fR output format except that it
adds a full dump of the completion latency bins. Each \fBbins\fR object contains a
