What were you trying to do?
Run catman with the -M flag, to specify the directory in which I
wanted to format man pages.
What's wrong:
It worked, even though the -M flag is not described in the man
page on the DECstation.
What should have happened:
The man page should describe all valid command line options,
especially this one, since it's used almost *every* time you use the
program.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
catman (8)
(See the equivalent man page on a VAX or RT for an example of how to
document the -M flag.)
