           Summary: nc (netcat)  manpage contains option not supported by
                    MDK version of nc
           Product: nc
           Version: 1.10-16mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: documentation
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The man page for the nc (netcat) programme lists an option -q. -q however 
*doesnt work* with the version of nc shipped by MDK. 

The man page for nc has been taken straight from the debian nc package. The 
debian version of the nc binary supports the -q option, however the binary 
shipped by MDK *doesnt* support -q. But -q is listed in the manpage supplied by 
MDK. 

Is it possible to remove the -q entry from the manpage shipped with the MDK 
version of nc?
