With some minor edits:

freesp command:

-.BI "freesp [ \-drs ] [-a agno] [ \-b | \-e bsize | \-h bsize | \-m factor ]"
+.BI "freesp [ \-drs ] [-a agno]... [ \-b | \-e bsize | \-h bsize | \-m factor ]"

prealloc command (did this in the utility help too):

-Controls speculative preallocation.
+Removes speculative preallocation.

prealloc command -s option:

-Flush all dirty data and metadata to disk.
+Wait for removal to complete.

trim command:

+(One of
+.BR -a ", " -f ", or the "
+.IR offset / length
+pair are required.)
