+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cache_metadata_size
+estimates the size of the metadata.  Either \-\-nr\-blocks, or \-\-block\-size
+and \-\-device\-size must be specified.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB\-\-nr\-blocks\fP \<natural\>"

+
+.IP "\fB\-\-block-size\fP \<sectors\>"
+Specify the size of each cache block in 512 byte sectors.

+Specify total size of the fast device used in the cache.  In 512 byte sectors.
+
+.IP "\fB\-\-max\-hint\-width\fP \<nr bytes\>"
+Cache policies use a per block 'hint' to record extra info (for instance hit
+counts).  At the moment all policies use a 4 byte hint width.  If you want to use
+a different hint width specify it with this switch.
