What were you trying to do?
Make sense between the man page for edquota, its apparent
behavior and the source code in paris:/source/4.3/usr.etc/edquota.c
or /afs/athena/astaff/reference/4.3nfs/usr.etc/edquota.c
What's wrong:
The man page refers to the '-e' option to select a different
editor. This doesn't work, and I can find no reference to it in the
source.
The man page also says that the default editor is emacs.
Wrong; it's vi.
The man page does not refer to the '-t' option which is used
to set default time limits. This feature is in the source, and it
seems to work properly.
What should have happened:
The program should be fixed to take the '-e' option, and the
man page should be rewritten.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
none that haven't already been mentioned above.
