 `exec host` takes the following arguments:
 
 ```sh
-  -c, --commands strings   Accepts space-separated names of commands.
-  -h, --help               help for host
-  -m, --hosts strings      Accepts space-separated names of hosts.
+  -c, --command stringArray   Accepts space-separated names of commands. Specify multiple times for multiple commands.
+  -h, --help                  help for host
+  -m, --hosts stringArray     Accepts space-separated names of hosts. Specify multiple times for multiple hosts.
 ```
 
 The commands have to be defined in the config file. The hosts need to at least be in the ssh_config(5) file.
