I updated the man page.
This was changed to maintain combability with older versions.
So the new way is the correct way.

There is something to do with man pages. For example:
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ rigctld --version
rigctl Hamlib 4.4~git ke loka 13 21:02:40 2021 +0000 SHA=16a879
---------------------------------------------
chk_vfo
Returns “CHKVFO 1\n” (single line only) if rigctld was invoked
with the -o/--vfo option and “CHKVFO 0\n” if not.
When in VFO mode the client will need to pass 'VFO' as the first
parameter to set or get commands. VFO is one of the strings de‐
fined in set_vfo above.
Manual page rigctld(1) line 672 (press h for help or q to quit)
---------------------------------------------
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ telnet localhost 4532
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
\chk_vfo

q
RPRT 0
Connection closed by foreign host.

An old rigctld Version 3.1 says:
saku@servo2:~$ telnet localhost 4532
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to servo2.
Escape character is '^]'.
\chk_vfo
CHKVFO 1
q
Connection closed by foreign host.
---------------------------------------------
For sake of the work done for pull requested fix for cqrlog I wish that man
page is wrong and current version's answer is right. (only plain number in
return).

Hi Mike,
Going back to this command of yours with syntax that does not work, is there a
current up-to-date ridctld documentation somewhere.
I have tried the man page which has errors and I also see many alternatives to
the syntax that also don't work around the internet.
Am I maybe confusing parameters for rigctl with those for rigctld if they are
different?
Any help would be appreciated as I don't know which documentation to believe
;)
Cheers,

Barry,
both rigctl and rigctld have pretty comprehensive built in usage documentation.
Use:
rigctl(d) -h
for command line usage, and:
rigctl(d) -l
to list model number assignments, and:
rigctl(d) -m <model-number> -L
to see the available configuration options along with their default values.
