detailed listing and description of freearc switches

The documentation that comes with freearc seems a little bit sparse and outdated unfortunately, at least when reading posts on

And following the trial and error principle is quite unsatisfying (one has to discover e.g. that extracting files from created archives does not lead to bit identical copies of the original quite some times - depending on selected methods and switches.

Is there any publicly available document that lists all command-line switches and their meaning in detail for the freearc archiver (and which would be comparable to the file "rar.txt" in the winrar-package)?
