Subject: [Bug 219359] New: V6.9.1: getent.1 "-A" option is not documented
Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2024 17:03:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-219359-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219359

            Bug ID: 219359
           Summary: V6.9.1: getent.1 "-A" option is not documented
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: kerbug@zplane.com
        Regression: No

man-pages V6.9.1:

getent.1 does not document the "-A/--no-addrconfig" option.


A brief description of -A does appear in the --help blurb, but imo, most users
without specific expertise in this area -- such as myself -- are not likely to
appreciate what this option actually accomplishes based only on that one-liner
from the help text. A few sentences of doc in the man page is really needed.
