Package: nbd-client
Version: 1:3.2-1.1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I am creating an NBD configuration, and it seems that
nbd-client and its manpage have gotten slightly out of sync.

I found the following issues:

- nbd-client -l accepts an optional port number, which is
  necessary if the server uses a non-standard port. The manual
  page does not mention this. The synopsis should read:
        nbd-client -l host [port]

- option --name:
  The manual page currently says that --name is required
  if and only if no port is specified. However:
  - In fact, it is required for new-style servers using export names.
  - It *can* be used together with a port number, if the
    new-style server uses export names and runs on a nonstandard
    port.

Kind regards,

Rogier.
