I use this text now:

Verify the signature of the file. The second form is used for detached
signatures, where sigfile is the detached signature (either
ASCII-armored or binary) and datafile contains the signed data; if
datafile is "-" the signed data is expected on stdin; if datafile is
not given the name of the file holding the signed data is constructed
by cutting off the extension (".asc", ".sig" or ".sign") from sigfile.

Okay?
Note that the source for the man page is in GnuPG-2, doc/gpgv.texi.
