https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266708 Bug ID: 266708 Summary: makewhatis(1) returns wrong exit status Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org I called makewhatis without arguments. The manual page says that a "dir" is expected, but apparently makewhatis is using "/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man" as a default anyway. /usr/bin/time makewhatis; echo $? 5.18 real 4.91 user 0.24 sys 0 I have no write access to /usr/share/man, so the mandoc.db will not be updated: ls -la /usr/share/man/mandoc.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3303000 Sep 24 09:31 /usr/share/man/mandoc.db In case of an error (no write permissions) I expected at least an error message and a non zero exit status. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
