Subject: losetup "-p" option is not documented
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 17:32:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201312182232.rBIMWPWN020104@hobgoblin.ariadne.com> (raw)

(My understanding is that this is the correct place to report bugs for
util-linux.)

In the manual page for losetup (in util-linux-2.23.2-4.fc19.x86_64) is
the text:

       Setup loop device:

            losetup [-o offset] [--sizelimit size]
                    [-p pfd] [-rP] {-f[--show]|loopdev} file

However, the "-p" option is not described in the text.

There also should be a space after "-f".

Thanks for attending to this,

Dale
