Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 >Organization: E-Scrub Technologies, Inc. >Environment: >Description: Typing "man 4 fd" produces a man page talking generally about UNIX file descriptors. This is in conflict with the established convention that `man 4 foo' produces documentation for the `foo' device type (and its driver). `man 4 fd' should produce documentation relating to the `fd' (floppy disk) device type. (See `man 4 fdc') >How-To-Repeat: man 4 fd >Fix: Use `man 4 fdc' instead. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
