Typo in portmaster man page?

2013-05-09 Thread Leslie Jensen


When reading the portmaster man page I just came to wonder if this isn't 
a typo?



[--force-config|-G] [-aftv] -F
 fetch distfiles only



Shouldn't the -F be to the far left?

Thanks

/Leslie

It seems consistent with how the other feature modes are documented.

(I'm not the original author on portmaster). Personally the manpage
really confuses me. There's been bigger issues to tackle first though so
I have not touched the manpage much.

You do realize that the man in manpage is an acronym for, Much
About Nothing.

that interpretation of yours might be insulting to man page authors :(
