Subject: losetup "-p" option is not documented
Sender: util-linux-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <util-linux.vger.kernel.org>

(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
