     The -o option can be used to place the image in a directory with a
     different name and location.
 
-    As an alternative to the wks file, the image-specific properties
-    that define the values that will be used to generate a particular
-    image can be specified on the command-line using the -i option and
-    supplying a JSON object consisting of the set of name:value pairs
-    needed by image creation.
-
     The set of properties available for a given image type can be
     listed using the 'wic list' command.
