Unfortunately nm.1 is in src/contrib/, and still on the vendor branch, and we generally don't take things off the vendor branch except for an important change. I don't think this change is important enough, sorry. A better way to get this change incorporated would be to submit it to the binutils people to get it included in the next release, which will presumably be imported into FreeBSD at some point. (There actually seem to be three nm.1 manual pages in the repository: /usr/cvs/src/contrib/binutils/binutils/nm.1,v /usr/cvs/src/usr.bin/nm/nm.1,v /usr/cvs/src/usr.bin/nm/nm.1aout,v I'm not sure what the second one there is, it doesn't seem to be used at all. The first one appears to be what you get when you do "man nm".) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
