[gentoo-user] procps: mysterious option

Hi for the options "-nN" and "-d" the manpage of procps mentions the option "-f" is implied. For SYNOPSIS all possible options are summarized as: procinfo [ -dDSbrhv ] [ -nN ]. Furthermore the option "-f" isn't explained anywhere. What I don't understand here ? ;) Cheers Meino

[gentoo-user] VirtualBox bridged networking and wifi problems
