+networks.

- your repository. The addresses are output on standard output, one per
- supported P2P network.
-
- You can re-run this command repeatedly to generate as many addresses
- as you like.
-
- The name is an optional parameter, the name of the person or device you
- intend to give this address to. Providig it makes it easier to use
- `--remove-address`
-
-* `--link-remote name address`
+* `--gen-address`
- Link the local repository to a remote repository. This sets up a git remote
- with the specified name. The address is one generated by `--gen-address`
- run on the remote repository.

+ over a P2P network. The address or addresses is output to stdout.
-* `--remove-address [address|name]`
+* `--link-remote remotename address`
- If you've given out an address to someone, and don't want to accept
- connections from them anymore, this can be used to remove it.
+ Sets up a git remote with the specified remotename that is accessed over
+ a P2P network. The address is one generated in the remote repository using
+ `git annex p2p --gen-address`
