Subject: Syntax errors in man and help regarding rulenum placement
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:12:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gnmh9h$vt7$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
man iptables of v1.4.2 gives these 2 different syntaxes
for example for the -I option:
iptables [-t table] -I [rulenum] rule-specification [options...]
iptables [-t table] -I chain [rulenum] rule-specification
And iptables --help gives these:
iptables -[RI] chain rulenum rule-specification [options]
--insert -I chain [rulenum]
This is all irritating, don't you think so?
Which of them is the officially correct one
regarding the placement (location) of the rulenum?
