Description
I am studying kexec-boot to create documentation for it with an eye on fixing my own system. I'm reading source but still new to heads and not understanding everything. Hoping an issue here will get some feedback to speed up my work. Will make a pull request when I have something significant done.
I have cloned heads and heads-wiki. Currently working on adding -h to kexec-boot with descriptions of params. Can someone explain how -a and -r work? Well I see how they work but don't understand what they are trying to do? esp. '-r'

Research direction
Start with the kexec-boot source in the cloned heads repository and the existing heads-wiki content. Determine what the -a and -r parameters are intended to do, then document those behaviors and the parameter descriptions for the planned -h output. Done means a substantial documentation pull request explains the options clearly.
