What's wrong is that (in contradiction to the SYNOPSIS), there are no devices named /dev/[r]matcdl[0-15][a|c], but there are devices named /dev/[r]matcd[0-15]l[a|c]: %ls /dev/matcd* /dev/matcd0a /dev/matcd0c /dev/matcd0la /dev/matcd0lc Also, other text in the man page agrees with ls. So, the SYNOPSIS appears to be wrong. Sorry if the initial PR was too cryptic; I may have gotten infected by the style of the material I'm reading. -r -- -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm email: rdm@cfcl.com phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
