The text in 'file --help' output lacks newline characters after both
the -L and the -h options:

  $ rpm -q file
  file-5.32-5.1.x86_64

  $ file --help
  ...
    -k, --keep-going           don't stop at the first match
    -l, --list                 list magic strength
    -L, --dereference          follow symlinks  -h, --no-dereference (default) 
     don't follow symlinks  -n, --no-buffer            do not buffer output
    -N, --no-pad               do not pad output
    -0, --print0               terminate filenames with ASCII NUL
  ...

Instead, it should read (maybe with even better formatting):

  $ file --help
  ...
    -k, --keep-going           don't stop at the first match
    -l, --list                 list magic strength
    -L, --dereference          follow symlinks
    -h, --no-dereference (default)       don't follow symlinks
    -n, --no-buffer            do not buffer output
    -N, --no-pad               do not pad output
    -0, --print0               terminate filenames with ASCII NUL
  ...
