Description:
Two options were missing in the online doc (4.4.6.4. Repair Options for myisamchk):

 -B, --backup        Make a backup of the .MYD file as 'filename-time.BAK'
 --correct-checksum  Correct checksum information for table.

Also the option 'keys-used=#' should be '--keys-used=#'

P.S.:
For completeness there is also a third one missing clearly marked as alpha (4.0.15):
 -p, --parallel-recover   Uses the same technique as '-r' and '-n', but creates all the keys in parallel, in different threads. THIS IS ALPHA CODE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
- Add two options
- change 'keys-used=#' to '--keys-used=#'
