What system is this on.  My "man scp" generates something
substantially different.  That stuff looks like formatting codes.
Here's what mine looks like:


 SCP(1)                    BSD General Commands Manual                   SCP(1)

 NAME
      scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)

 SYNOPSIS
      scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
          [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
          [[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2

 DESCRIPTION
      scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1) for data
      transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security
      as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if
      they are needed for authentication.
