https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275159 Bug ID: 275159 Summary: man page for apropos(1) references nonexistent options -l and -c from page for man(1) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: razetime@gapp.nthu.edu.tw CC: doc@FreeBSD.org OS: FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE releng/13.2-n254617-525ecfdad597 GENERIC The man page listing for apropos(1), under the DESCRIPTION heading, after the options are listed, contains the following line: The options -chlw are also supported and are documented in man(1). The options -fkl are mutually exclusive and override each other. -c and -l were not documented in man(1). man(1) when run with -c and -l recognizes them as invalid options. apropos(1) does not reject them and requires man page changes to reflect this difference. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
