Nope. It's the new bog-standard way of starting sqlplus with the intention of performing Privileged Actions.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't documented at all for 8i, but it's certainly well-documented for 9i (on the grounds that sqlplus is now the only tool available for these sorts of activities).

You could always have tried "sqlplus sys/oracle as sysdba". Works for me.
