oops.. man pages are not in sync - next man shows '-l'. -l helps. Changing subject and priority. Where is the exact problem/enhancement here? man 1p ipcs should get in sync with man 8 ipcs . ----------------- [ 20:41:25, root@skylab, /usr/src/Installed/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 ] # apropos ipcs ipcs (1p) - report XSI interprocess communication facilities status ipcs (8) - provide information on ipc facilities ----------------- [ 20:41:45, root@skylab, /usr/src/Installed/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 ] # the 1st declares options that are not supported by ipcs utility. The man pages on the same command are not in sync, the enhancement is to get them in sync, so that man 1p ipcs and man 8 ipcs both will provide correct options. Thorsten, the one from util-linux is fine--I don't know if we even need ipcs in man-pages then? "man 1p ipcs" gives you, as clearly stated, the documentation of the POSIX version of ipcs. So our ipcs should try to get compatible with POSIX, we will not modify or delete the POSIX documentation. Oh, I agree. This is not something I'll fix though, please talk to the upstream ipcs maintainer. |
Manual page ipcs(1p): ------------------------------------ SYNOPSIS ipcs [-qms][-a | -bcopt] ------------------------------------ ----------------- [ 14:13:20, root@skylab, /usr/src/2Install/CURRENT/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 ] # ipcs -b ipcs: invalid option -- b usage : ipcs -asmq -tclup ipcs [-s -m -q] -i id ipcs -h for help. ----------------- [ 14:17:48, root@skylab, /usr/src/2Install/CURRENT/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 ] # ipcs -o ipcs: invalid option -- o usage : ipcs -asmq -tclup ipcs [-s -m -q] -i id ipcs -h for help. ----------------- [ 14:17:51, root@skylab, /usr/src/2Install/CURRENT/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 ] # ipcs -p For me it's major, since w/o -b option ipcs is useless in case of getting a clue why the getshm() returns error within zoneminder.
