+-L <start>,<end>::
+	Annotate only the given line range.  <start> and <end> can take
+	one of these forms:
+
+	- number
++
+	If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
+	absolute line number (lines count from 1).
++
+
+	- /regex/
++
+	This form will use the first line matching the given
+	POSIX regex.  If <end> is a regex, it will search
+	starting at the line given by <start>.
++
+
+	- +offset or -offset
++
+	This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
+	of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
++
