Linux developers are busy adding features, but forget to keep the man pages accurate. This has been the case for a decade, and sadly nothing has improved. Man pages are changed randomly, and many times are inaccurate. :-/ I have moved over to the OpenBSD land, and things are 100% better - maintaining man page accuracy is one of the primary aim of the group. -Amarendra _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
