>Description:
This example:
/sbin/gpart create -s GPT ad0
from the gpart(8) man page fails with
gpart: arg0 'ad0': Invalid argument
This alternative however seemt to be accepted with no errors:
/sbin/gpart create -s GPT ada0
(I suspect that this same eror may have infected many, most, or all of the
other examples on this web page also.)
>How-To-Repeat:
man 8 gpart
>Fix:
Edit the EXAMPLES section of the gpart(8) man page.
