You can list the available values of @var{ABI} and @var{ARCH} using
the @option{--help} option.
+For VAX, you can specify function entry addresses with @option{-M
+entry:0xf00ba}. You can use this multiple times to properly
+disassemble VAX binary files that don't contain symbol tables (like
+ROM dumps). In these cases, the function entry mask would otherwise
+be decoded as VAX instructions, which would probably lead the the rest
+of the function being wrongly disassembled.
