+         The validate subcommand can operate on a manifest file,
+         an instance fmri, or the current instance or snapshot entity
+         selection.  When an argument is specified, svccfg will check to
+         see if a file exists with that name. If the file exists, it will
+         be validated. If no file exists, the argument will be treated as
+         an FMRI pattern.  If a conflict arises between a filename and an
+         FMRI, the "svc:" and "file:" prefixes can be used to tell svccfg
+         how to interpret the argument.
 
+	 When given a file, the file is processed similarly to import -V,
