Summary0009556: Improve fierce manpage
Description

I was trying to learn how to use fierce and noticed the manpage can be more intuitive/clear.

In particular,

--traverse TRAVERSE

It's not clear what form TRAVERSE should be. It could be changed to --traverse NUM and the description of it could incorporate that such as:

"Perform a reverse DNS lookup on NUM IP addresses..."

And likewise for any other ambiguous arguments.

Seems directly imported by Kali team from Debian:

https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/fierce
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/fierce/-/blob/debian/master/debian/fierce.1

so probably needs to be reported to:

https://bugs.debian.org/fierce
