-----------
kinit obtains and caches an initial ticket-granting ticket for
-*principal*.
+*principal*. If *principal* is absent, kinit chooses an appropriate
+principal name based on existing credential cache contents or the
+local username of the user invoking kinit. Some options modify the
+choice of principal name.
