That's not what I see.

       -t
           Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by a
           space) at the start of each line:

           H
               cached

           S
               skip-worktree

           M
               unmerged

           R
               removed/deleted

           C
               modified/changed

           K
               to be killed

           ?
               other
