This may help your patch ;) So you think I should remove NW from my re-worked manpage for 4.x? I looked and CVS and didn't see them removed from 4.x code. They don't work on my system, but I don't know about other architectures. Or do we assume that the 5.0 code will be MFC'd soon enough that it doesn't matter that the 4.x manpage is wrong for a while? I was suprised to see that -N, -W, and -s were removed completely, so that they are errors and so it will break old scripts. Aren't obsolete options usually left in as no-ops, at least for a long time? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
