https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241959 Bug ID: 241959 Summary: su documentation is misleading Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dewayne@heuristicsystems.com.au CC: doc@FreeBSD.org su use and documentation is misleading. Please review the following: # /usr/bin/su -m root -C ; # This was intentional to get usage Unknown option: `-C' Usage: _su [ -bcdefilmnqstvVxX ] [ argument ... ]. # /usr/bin/su -h su: illegal option -- h usage: su [-] [-flms] [-c class] [login [args]] The latter is what is documented in the man page, but the actual use is described by the former. It must be very confusing for newbies (or oldies that look into what they use). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.help
