As reported in #10459, the man page for the --no-clobber option has the text

You can thus use --clobber to enforce the clobbering, even if -J, --remote-header-name or -J is specified.

However, the source file no-clobber.d says

You can thus use --clobber to enforce the clobbering, even if --remote-header-name or -J is specified.

Note the underlined text in the first case -J,. The erroneous text is created with the command

perl ./gen.pl mainpage no-clobber.d remote-header-name.d

but it does not appear with the command

perl ./gen.pl mainpage no-clobber.d

the difference being that adding the remote-header-name.d file includes an option referenced in no-clobber.d that appears in the area which the added text occurs.
