Subject: [PATCH] man: Correct flag description of systemd-cat
It is not true that "no string" is written to journal; the binary
name is used when run via `systemd-cat command`, or `cat` is used
when run via `command | systemd-cat`.

Specify a short string that is used to
identify the logging tool. If not specified, no identification
- string is written to the journal.
+ string is set for the journal entry, and the executable name
