The following reply was made to PR docs/3313; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Peter Dufault <dufault@hda.com> To: oliver.fromme@heim3.tu-clausthal.de Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: docs/3313: manpage bug in scsi(8) (cmd args are hex) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 06:08:40 -0400 (EDT) > The scsi(8) manpage fails to mention that arguments to > -c commands are specified in hexadecimal. The "examples" > section in that manpage also seems to use decimal values, > which is wrong. The arguments are parsed using strtol with a base of zero and so can be decimal (default) or hex (leading 0x). The confusing part is that the numbers INSIDE a format string are hex unconditionally to make it easy to copy commands from the spec.
