Improvements to that man page are possible too. Other FreeBSD releases are affected too. Errors: I am aware that not all the entries in this man page are available in every FreeBSD system. But the next entries are wrong: /usr/heimdal - should be /var/heimdal Improvements: I have observed that most entries are in alphabetical order. It is nice, as simplifies looking for the description of a file, directory, or filesystem. It makes the general layout of this page similar to the default layout of the filesystem hierarchy as shown by ls(1). But some entries are NOT in alphabetical order: /mnt - should be before /modules /usr/include/netnatm - should be before /usr/include/netns /usr/share/dict/papers - is it in the wrong place?!? /usr/X11R6 - should it be at the before /usr/bin? /var/preserve - is it in wrong place too? >How-To-Repeat: $ man hier >Fix: Only small changes to /usr/share/man/man7/hier.7.gz are required. It should be easy to change in the CVS tree before releasing the next major release of FreeBSD. Thanks a lot for your attention and for maintaining one of the finest operating systems available today! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: SEND-PR: -*- send-pr -*- SEND-PR: Lines starting with `SEND-PR' will be removed automatically, as SEND-PR: will all comments (text enclosed in `<' and `>').
