 	bfd_alt_mach_code
 
 SYNOPSIS
-	boolean bfd_alt_mach_code(bfd *abfd, int index);
+	boolean bfd_alt_mach_code(bfd *abfd, int alternative);
 
 DESCRIPTION
 
 	When more than one machine code number is available for the
 	same machine type, this function can be used to switch between
-	the preferred one (index == 0) and any others.  Currently,
+	the preferred one (alternative == 0) and any others.  Currently,
 	only ELF supports this feature, with up to two alternate
 	machine codes.
