Verbose log

man youtube-dl

or

youtube-dl --help

Description

man youtube-dl doesn't list -A or --auto-number under options, and youtube-dl --help doesn't list it at all.

Yet, man youtube-dl under "FAQ" and "I'm getting an error when trying to use output template" references it:

   I'm getting an error when trying to use output template:
       error: using output template conflicts with using title, video ID or auto number

       Make sure you are not using -o with any of these options -t, --title, --id, -A or --auto-number set in command line or in a configuration file.  Remove the latter if any.

Haven't checked source & git history. Maybe this is an undocumented option, or maybe this is an option previously removed with a dangling reference to it in the FAQ.
