Type and version: Ultra-1 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type: ffb
What were you trying to do?
man -a scsi scsi_ifgetcap scsi_init_pkt scsi_transport
What's wrong:
After displaying the first three, man spews thusly:
man1: Too many open files
cat1: Too many open files
man2: Too many open files
cat2: Too many open files
man3: Too many open files
cat3: Too many open files
man4: Too many open files
cat4: Too many open files
man5: Too many open files
cat5: Too many open files
man6: Too many open files
cat6: Too many open files
man7: Too many open files
cat7: Too many open files
man8: Too many open files
cat8: Too many open files
mandesc: Too many open files
catdesc: Too many open files
No manual entry for scsi_transport.
Additionally, man is now passing each man page to my pager individually,
meaning that I have to quit it to go to the next page; I consider this a
mis-feature, as I would like to be able to switch back and forth between
manpages.
What should have happened:
Well, it shouldn't be leaking filedescriptors like a sieve :)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man man :)
