System type, version: (RT/PC) Version 6.3B
System name: achates
What's wrong:
The man page for blanche claims:
-verbose or -v:
Give more information. With the info flag, it will
also display the number of members on the list. With
the members flag, it will display the type of each
member, not just those that are ambiguous. When chang-
ing the membership of a list, it will print a message
for each member added or deleted.
However, when I add a member to a list using the verbose flag (after
first deleting the member to make sure he's not already there), here's
what happens:
achates% blanche jewnet -verbose -add reingold@cs.uiuc.edu
achates%
i.e. it doesn't confirm the addition of a member to the list, even
though the man page says it should.
What should have happened:
Either the man page should not claim that -verbose will cause a
change confirmation, or the program should print such a change
confirmation.
