 The \fBgetopt()\fR function is a command line parser that can be used by
 applications that follow Basic Utility Syntax Guidelines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and
 10 which parallel those defined by application portability standards (see
-intro(1)). It can also be used by applications which additionally follow the
+Intro(1)). It can also be used by applications which additionally follow the
 Command Line Interface Paradigm (CLIP) syntax extension guidelines 15, 16, and
 17. It partially enforces guideline 18 by requiring that every option has a
 short-name, but it allows multiple long-names to be associated with an option.
