The documentation is clear that it is about the command-line version of
POV-Ray, not the GUI versions and it does refer you to the GUI version
documentation for specifics of those versions.  Where?  Well, in the
introduction of the command-line options in section 5 in case you missed it.

If you don't read the documentation carefully and get burned that is not a
bug in POV-Ray but in your method of reading the documentation.  The
suggested way to read it is from section 1 to the last section.  It is not
recommended to use it for reference purposes only.  That way you _will_ miss
very important details!
