Type and version: CVAXSTAR 6.4R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
use zwrite. I was testing something in my description file
that would filter out obnoxious fontstyles in the signiture field of
the zgram. To test this, I was going to send myself a zgram with such
a signiture. Since I was not sure of the usage, I just typed
athena% zwrite
Usage: zwrite [-a] [-o] [-d] [-v] [-q] [-n] [-t] [-u] [-l]
[-c class] [-i inst] [-f fsname] [user ...] [-m message]
-f and -c are mutually exclusive
-f and -i are mutually exclusive
recipients must be specified unless -c or -f specifies a class
other than the default class or -i or -f specifies an instance
other than the default or urgent instance
so I could see the usage.
What's wrong:
The -s option is missing from the usage list. This makes the
usage message inconsistent with the manual page for zwgc.
What should have happened:
The usage message be consistent with the manual page. In this
case, it should have included the -s option.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
zwrite usage statement, zwrite man page
