Actually the docs about command line are redundant and outdated.
We should try to keep them only in the startup section of the GSG (Linux and BSD).

I think we should remove most of them to keep the doc simple and maintainable.

These patches will be applied even if the doc is not updated
because a doc rework is needed.
