>Number: 1713 >Category: gnu >Synopsis: mkisofs doesn't match man page in behavior >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Oct 2 17:30:01 PDT 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Brian R. Haug >Organization: None >Release: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386 >Environment: generic >Description: The code as distributed by Walnut Creek (so you may not actually care about this) has several asserts in mkisofs which cause the program to not run unless certain options are supplied on the command line (i.e. -N -d) which are not noted as required options on the man page and are noted to use with caution. >How-To-Repeat: cd /tmp;mkisofs -o /var/tmp/foo -R . >Fix: Remove the asserts in mkisofs.c lines 335 and 336: assert(omit_version_number); assert(omit_period); Alternatively update the man page or perhaps add a -W for Walnut Creek options and note these in the man page (presumably forcing a -d -N). >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
