From the "Description":

The javap command disassembles a class file. Its output depends on the options
used. If no options are used, javap prints out the public fields and methods of
the classes passed to it.

[ Showing only "public fields and methods" is the description for "-public". ]

From the "Options":

-package
 Shows only package, protected, and public classes and members. This is the
 default.

The "Description" is incorrect. As stated in the "Options" section, the
default behaviour is identical to using "-package".
