[-- Attachment #1 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, Apologies if that has been discussed before; the search didn't yield anything useful, but I might have missed something. I noticed today that the "-l" option is missing from pw.8 man page, at least in HEAD, stable/9 and stable/8. The option is mentioned in the SYNOPSIS, but there's no information about it in the USER OPTIONS section, unlike the respective option in GROUP OPTIONS. I went briefly through both pw.8's and pw.c's history, but could not find any clues. The option itself is working as expected, and pw.c's short help also mentions it, so I assume it somehow got overlooked, rather than being intentionally omitted. If that's indeed the case, I'm attaching a dirty patch, but please bear in mind that I've never worked with roff documents before, so don't get too mad at me if it's not quite all right (it seemed to produce a fine output in man(1), at least). Cheers, Luchesar P.S. I inserted the information between the userdel and usershow notes, because that seems to be the order in SYNOPSIS. The text itself is shamelessly stolen from the GROUP OPTIONS section; it's pretty brief, but probably enough. I guess the whole page might benefit from some examples, but that's obviously a separate topic for discussion. - -- i.dea.is/luchesar -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJOl2fZAAoJENvaS4iaH+7/KzAH/0inWSmTUFLWByowXPMBXjaC QgRUU7ePow8w/YbQE5nJzxFMNHitk91qp1X5AVFsLS07MaHMMgXU52GUwMCtG/jI dnN5ew1EaRMb0WfR+xKBr4x6wmUD3VfbZzhYBiJcc6MQCPjHl42sVeOGFB42BYS9 gl5i5gKTXYnIgg8O2Kh+gpH5IJDG7QvrqkCaEr5ENhQryTn7I9m8qiOKOGmXGZkd DkEu+A2EODTHR1a0sLTTcvpa9hLJCZxY4S+HaffJ3P27ye7R2LxGUFr4ojpofJwO RGHhxXZCxGWzJNVx0M+N96ioGzHiGszt3+EEw1auz5PkAtCrDpLEoRdwzheUKEk= =444I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- [-- Attachment #2 --] --- pw.8.orig 2011-09-29 22:07:38.644980000 +0300 +++ pw.8 2011-10-14 01:06:09.154416254 +0300 @@ -714,6 +714,17 @@ system. .Pp The +.Ar usermod +command adds one additional option: +.Bl -tag -width "-G grouplist" +.It Fl l Ar name +This option allows changing of an existing account name to +.Ql \&name . +The new name must not already exist, and any attempt to duplicate an existing account +name will be rejected. +.El +.Pp +The .Ar usershow command allows viewing of an account in one of two formats.
