Undocumented options in ra

I noticed that there are no man-page for 'rahosts', and then discovered 
that this was a simple perl-script.

In this script I see that it will run :
ra -L -1 -nn -s saddr:32 daddr:32 proto -c , -r argus.log


Question:
What does the -L and -1 options to ra do? They aren't mentioned in the ra
manual.



PS:
Perhaps you should create a man-page for rahosts?
...and perhaps handle the special cases when the argument is '-?' or '-h' 
locally in the perl script and show a usage-message instead of forwarding 
the argument to ra, which will print *its* usage instructions.
Example: Run 'rahosts -?' and you won't see the help for 'rahosts' but for 
'ra'.
