System name: portnoy
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
Get a useful usage message from attach/detach/nfsid in order
to find out what the valid command-line options are.
What's wrong:
The usage message is useless:
portnoy% nfsid -help
Unknown switch -help
portnoy% attach -help
Unknown switch -help
portnoy% detach -help
Unknown switch -help
What should have happened:
At the very least, the "-help" flag should give a usage
message listen the options are available. Better, any unknown
flag should result in a usage message listing the available
options.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The attach/detach/nfsid man pages list the valid options,
which should be printed by the program.
