Additional info:

Comment 1 Milos Malik 2009-05-04 10:03:32 UTC
The man page contains a typo in its .TH tag, which is visible when you run "man blkparse".

There is
.TH BLKTPARSE 1 "March  6, 2007" "blktrace git\-20070306202522" ""
instead of
.TH BLKPARSE 1 "March  6, 2007" "blktrace git\-20070306202522" ""
