http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm
- -o is a global option.

Dovecot v2.2.15: man doveadm
/-o<ENTER>
:-)

man doveadm|egrep -i '\-o'
        -o setting=value
               ple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

However, I always wonder about the quoting [different shells behave 
differently] and would use:

man doveadm|egrep -i -- -o

===

Actually, I remember a post of Timo each time such question comes up. And 
this time I dug it up in the man pages.
