Many man pages contain EXAMPLES sections that only list the GNU options instead of the standard options of the program. If people don't know how a program officially works thy tend to copy examples. BTW: sorry for being off topic but does anybody know how to write a test that finds that GNU rm is not UNIX-98 compliant? >From http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcu/rm.html: 4.If the current file is a directory, rm will perform actions equivalent to the XSH specification rmdir() function called with a pathname of the current file used as the path argument. ... but GNU rm has a -d option that makes it behave like the unlink command.
