System name: tabetha
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.0F (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
use lpquota
What's wrong:
The usage message is non-intuitive and partially incorrect.
typing just lpquota gives a very non-intuitive usage message
athena% lpquota
Must select one of -P or -Q
when one types lpquota -, the form of the usage message gives -Q and
-P as optional arguments. This should be changed.
What should have happened:
Perhaps the usage message use both of the above usage messages
simultaneously.... Perhaps the following:
Usage: lpquota [-Q quotaserver] [-P printer] [-S service] [-c] [-q]
[-l] [-f allowed] [-i amount] [-d amount] [-s amount]
[-a amount] [username]
Must use either -P or -Q
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
