+        When using the program as a standalone utility, provide an extension
+        that will be stripped from all file names before deciding if they
+        should be deleted.  This is typically useful for cleaning up archives
+        that have been compressed during storage, and therefore have had an
+        extension added by the compression program.  Note that the
+        <filename>.backup</> file name passed to the program should not
+        include the extension.
