>Description:
geom has a weird help message system when ran with 1-2 args
I know the syntax used in the examples is wrong but there is no error message explaining that.
>How-To-Repeat:
# geom list
usage: geom list help
# geom list help
usage: geom list help
# geom help
usage: geom help help
#geom badoption
usage: geom badoption help
>Fix:
Needs a patch here:
# cat -n /usr/src/sbin/geom/core/geom.c | grep -B 1 -A 2 strcmp\(comm
509 snprintf(comm, sizeof(comm), "%s", basename((*argv)[0]));
510 if (strcmp(comm, "geom") == 0) {
? 511 if (*argc < 2)
512 geom_usage();
