Bug 204521 – app-admin/cronolog: incorrect documentation for previous link long option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2008-01-06 08:41:57 UTC]

$ /usr/sbin/cronolog --help 2>&1 | grep prev
   -P NAME,   --prev-symlink=NAME  maintain a symbolic link from NAME to previous log

but cronolog.1m says instead the long option for -P is :

       --prevlink=NAME
              maintain a symbolic link from NAME to  the  previous  log  file.
              Requires  that  the  --symlink  option is specified, as cronolog
              renames the current link to the name specified for the  previous
              link.

Created attachment 140260 [details, diff]
use --prev-symlink instead of --prevlink in the documentation as used by the code
