Bug ID: 241959
Summary: su documentation is misleading
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
su use and documentation is misleading. Please review the following:
# /usr/bin/su -m root -C ; # This was intentional to get usage
Unknown option: `-C'
Usage: _su [ -bcdefilmnqstvVxX ] [ argument ... ].
# /usr/bin/su -h
su: illegal option -- h
usage: su [-] [-flms] [-c class] [login [args]]
The latter is what is documented in the man page, but the actual use is
described by the former.
It must be very confusing for newbies (or oldies that look into what they use).
