Run mkfs.jffs2 without an argument to print its usage? (Sample below)

For example, I use following command for Nokia 770 test board with
Samsung 1Gbit chip with 128KiB erase block size. I create the image
without cleanmarkers because that is the way how N770's bootloader
engulfs the JFFS2 image to be flashed.

  $ mkfs.jffs2 -r srcdir -o imagefile -e 128 -l -n
