 * `-f file`: specifies a file to edit
 * `-s path`: specifies a property-tree path to modify
-* `-v value`: used with -s path, sets the value at the path
+* `-p path`: specifies a property-tree path to add (duplicates can be added)
+* `-v value`: used with -s path or -p path, sets the value at the path
 * `-d path`: deletes all subtrees matching the path
 * `-a path`: adds a subtree at the path; the subtree is read from stdin
 * `-r path`: replaces a subtree at the path; equivalent to -d path followed by -a path
