Current output:
{noformat}
    -b=<value>                  Set system property jboss.bind.address

    -b <value>                  Set system property jboss.bind.address
                                to the given value
{noformat}

{noformat}
    -b=<value>, -b <value>      Set system property jboss.bind.address
