Missing /cmd argument in Photorec 7.2? #191

Description

I've seen https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk_doc/scripted_run.html#automating-recovery-using-photorec but when I've tried this feature in Photorec I've seen every command I was trying it always showed a standard help message, as if "/cmd" argument wasn't recognized at all. In fact, this help message (nor man page) lists available Photorec arguments but it does'nt mention /cmd !! (see below)

PhotoRec 7.2, Data Recovery Utility, February 2024
Christophe GRENIER <grenier@cgsecurity.org>
https://www.cgsecurity.org
Usage: photorec [/log] [/debug] [/d recup_dir] [file.dd|file.e01|device]
       photorec /version
/log          : create a photorec.log file
/debug        : add debug information
PhotoRec searches for various file formats (JPEG, Office...). It stores files
in the recup_dir directory.

So, my question is...is documentation obsolete and just explains a removed argument?
Thanks!

PS: I'm using precompiled version from official Fedora 43 repository
