Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.2-6 Severity: minor
libc6 getconf uses -a option for printing out all configuration values. It's detectable by running getconf with no arguments: --- raz...@valhalla:~$ getconf Usage: getconf [-v specification] variable_name [pathname] getconf -a [pathname] --- However, the option is not printed when using the --help option: --- raz...@valhalla:~$ getconf --help Usage: getconf [-v SPEC] VAR or: getconf [-v SPEC] PATH_VAR PATH Get the configuration value for variable VAR, or for variable PATH_VAR for path PATH. If SPEC is given, give values for compilation environment SPEC. For bug reporting instructions, please see: <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/>. --- Moreover, there is no documentation in the manual page about the -a option. The manual page itself is quite old: --- raz...@valhalla:~$ man getconf | tail -n 1 3rd Berkeley Distribution etch GETCONF(1) --- Regards, Razvan -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to POSIX) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-9 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
