100%

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:

            losetup [-o offset] [--sizelimit size]
                    [-p pfd] [-rP] {-f[--show]|loopdev} file

Comment 2 Nikola Forró 2016-08-23 15:42:46 UTC 
Thom, losetup.8 man page isn't part of man-pages package. I'm going to reassign this bug to util-linux.
Comment 3 Karel Zak 2016-08-29 11:28:51 UTC 
This is really cosmetic issue, should be fixed with something more important in 7.4. The current upstream uses:

losetup [-o offset] [--sizelimit size]
        [-Pr] [--show] -f|loopdev file
