Summary	0001435: wrong explanation for clear option in foamEndJob
Description	When running 'foamEndJob -help' the explanation for the -clear options seems to be wrong. At the top it says: '-clear use blockMesh reader (uses .blockMesh extension)' At the bottom it says (which is right in my opinion): 'The -clear option clears any outstanding foamEndJob for the case.'
Steps To Reproduce	foamEndJob -help Usage: foamEndJob [OPTION] <pid> Usage: foamEndJob [OPTION] -c options: -clear use blockMesh reader (uses .blockMesh extension) -case <dir> specify alternative case directory, default is the cwd -now stop at next time step -help print the usage Tries to end running OpenFOAM application at next write (or optionally at the next time step). It needs runTimeModifiable switched on in the controlDict. It changes stopAt in the controlDict and waits for the job to finish. Restores original controlDict if - job has finished - controlDict gets modified (by user) - foamEndJob gets killed. The -clear option clears any outstanding foamEndJob for the case.
Additional Information	I assume the script foamEndJob was originally based on the paraFoam script (reuse of the header and basic structure). When changing the available options someone forgot to update the description accordingly.
