                     13: .I Track
                     14: uses Datakit to copy files from another machine to the local machine.
                     15: If the version of the named file differs from that existing on the
                     16: named machine, the remote file is copied.
                     17: If the named file is a
                     18: directory, the contents of the directory are considered recursively.
                     19: Files are copied only if they exist on both machines.
                     20: Options:

                     24: Giving the option causes more verbose reports, for example about
                     25: files that exist locally but not remotely.
                     26: Giving the option twice generates a report about each file considered.

                     43: .B -d
                     44: option takes the next argument as a prefix for remote names;

                     52: .I track
                     53: to act as the remote partner;
                     54: it is invoked in this way on the other machine, and is not intended

                     62: the attempt can succeed only if the invoker of the local file owns

                     65: copied, because the loader uses this time to determine whether the symbol
                     66: table is up-to-date.
