-    rad seed [<rid>...] [--[no-]fetch] [--from <nid>] [--scope <scope>] [<option>...]
-
-    The `seed` command, when no Repository ID (<rid>) is provided, will list the
-    repositories being seeded.
-
-    When a Repository ID (<rid>) is provided it updates or creates the seeding policy for
-    that repository. To delete a seeding policy, use the `rad unseed` command.
-
-    When seeding a repository, a scope can be specified: this can be either `all` or
-    `followed`. When using `all`, all remote nodes will be followed for that repository.
-    On the other hand, with `followed`, only the repository delegates will be followed,
-    plus any remote that is explicitly followed via `rad follow <nid>`.
-
-Options
-
-    --[no-]fetch           Fetch repository after updating seeding policy
-    --from <nid>           Fetch from the given node (may be specified multiple times)
-    --timeout <secs>       Fetch timeout in seconds (default: 9)
-    --scope <scope>        Peer follow scope for this repository
-    --verbose, -v          Verbose output
