Puppet users - Aug 2011 - Is "puppet agent --server" a valid command?

It is not listed in the command details on this page?

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/agent.html

But it is cited as an example of a valid puppet agent command at the
very bottom of the page.

Kinda confusing.

If you do a `puppet agent --help` from the command line, you''ll see
something that looks like this:

*OPTIONS*
*=======*
*Note that any configuration parameter that''s valid in the
configuration*
*file is also a valid long argument. For example, ''server'' is
a valid*
*configuration parameter, so you can specify ''--server
<servername>'' as*
*an argument.*

Any puppet.conf configuration parameter can be specified from the command
line as an argument.  So, --server <servername> would be the syntax here.

Cool, thanks for the clarification Gary.
