>Description:

The first "synopsis" example has a "[/prefixlength]" which shouldn't
be there, since that stuff is part of the preceeding "address" as is
explained in the description of "address".

(The way it is now, 192.168.0.1/16/prefixlength would be a proper
operand.  Note that "prefixlength" is not mentioned by name anywhere.)
