Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a ================ >Description: The first "synopsis" example has a "[/prefixlength]" which shouldn't be there, since that stuff is part of the preceeding "address" as is explained in the description of "address". (The way it is now, 192.168.0.1/16/prefixlength would be a proper operand. Note that "prefixlength" is not mentioned by name anywhere.) ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: patch -d "unknown uncompressed man directory" < this-PR --- ifconfig..orig.8 Sun Dec 2 21:40:51 2001 +++ ifconfig.8 Sun Dec 2 21:53:40 2001 @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ .Op Cm create .Op Ar address_family .Oo -.Ar address Ns Op Cm / Ns Ar prefixlength +.Ar address .Op Ar dest_address .Oc .Op Ar parameters >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
