remctl 3.2 documentation nit-pick on setting source IP address

Hello,

The documentation of remctl (version 3.2) is not clear to me in regard
to setting the source IP address of outgoing connections:

remctl_set_source_ip(3) in doc/api/ specifies:

	"Call this function before remctl_open() if remctl client connections
	need to come from a specific source IP."

whereas Python/README says:

	"This method must be called prior to calling open() and will affect all
	             ^^^^
	subsequent open() calls on the same object."

Is it safe to assume that remctl_set_source_ip(3) speaks the truth --
i.e. that setting the source IP address on outgoing connections is
optional?

Regards,

        -JP
