man synopsis states [-n -logfile] option. Later on in avrdude.1 as well as in
main.c -l is used.
Also '-logfile' is no option alternative but a parameter.
This is a minor issue but still confusing when one uses / to search
through man pages.

The new file type I is essentially Intel HEX that, on download, inserts
comments next to data records with the resolved effective address and an
ASCII dump of that same record. On upload the `I` format is permissive
with respect to check sum errors, eg, after manipulated an Intel HEX file
for debugging.
This feature has been designed with the sometimes quite flakey direct
(parallel or serial port attached) bitbang programming adapters in
mind that were quite common about two decades ago.
With parallel ports vanishing from modern PCs almost completely, and
the advent of various USB-attached low-cost programming devices,
this class of programmers disappeared almost completely.
Furthermore, the fuse combinations that were covered by the feature
are no longer around on all recent AVR devices, so for an ever
increasing number of devices, safemode already became meaningless and
was turned off anyway.
With the prospective version 7.x release, it's a good point in time to
introduce a major change like this one.
