It's just below that table:

   -v<x>  Be verbose. <x> is a combination of the following letters:
       e : Show errors (default)       0 : Show nothing (except errors)
       w : Show warnings               u : Show unit info
       n : Show notes                  t : Show tried/used files
       h : Show hints                  c : Show conditionals
       i : Show general info           d : Show debug info
       l : Show linenumbers            r : Rhide/GCC compatibility mode
       s : Show time stamps            q : Show message numbers
       a : Show everything             x : Executable info (Win32 only)
       b : Write file names messages   p : Write tree.log with parse  
tree
           with full path              v : Write fpcdebug.txt with
                                           lots of debugging info
       m<x>,<y> : Don't show messages numbered <x> and <y>

$ fpc -vw x.pp y.pp
Warning: Only one source file supported, changing source file to  
compile from "x.pp" into "y.pp"
Target OS: Darwin for PowerPC
Compiling y.pp
Fatal: Can't open file "y.pp"
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcppc returned an error exitcode (normal if you  
did not specify a source file to be compiled)

-> remove the warning at the start:

$ fpc -vw x.pp y.pp -vm11001
Target OS: Darwin for PowerPC
Compiling y.pp
Fatal: Can't open file "y.pp"
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcppc returned an error exitcode (normal if you  
did not specify a source file to be compiled)

To find out the message number of a particular message, compile with - 
vq. And you can only suppress warnings/notes/hints with that switch.
