 DESCRIPTION
        The crontab utility manages a user's access with cron (see cron(1M)) by
        copying, creating, listing, and removing crontab files. If invoked
        without options, crontab copies the specified file, or the standard
        input if no file is specified, into a directory that holds all users'
        crontabs.
 
 
        If crontab is invoked with filename, this overwrites an existing
-       crontab entry for the user that invokes it.
+       crontab entry for the user that invokes it, or for the user specified
+       with the -u option.
