Anyone working on man page cross references is well advised to have a copy of the printed Oreiley 4.4 manual by there side and rather than delete what are in fact proper cross references to missing parts of the system it would be nice to add an empty or 5 line man page for it that says it is missing, please write one for us :-). If you will look at many of the Makefiles in /usr/src you will see lines like this: # XXX MISSING: libmp libplot These are SUBDIR items that where in the original 4.4 BSD Lite Makefile, but the subdir itself was missing and/or empty Here is a complete cull of these from my -stable tree: > > Unfortunately, I don't have the system managers volume (section 8) > so I can't tell you exactly what it does.

Here is the NAME/SYNOPSIS line from the printed man page: quot - display total block usage per user for a file quot [-ncf] [filesystem] And from the HISTORY section (which explains why it is missing from the -lite releases:) The quot command appeared in Version 32V AT&T UNIX. > The df man page also makes reference to it (as well as to quota(1)). :-), please go put the cross reference to quot(8) back in this man page, and commit a src/share/man/man8/quot.1 man page that says FreeBSD is missing this utility due to source code restrictions. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
