Description Adam Nielsen 2008-12-19 13:10:34 UTC

net-dialup/lrzsz currently only offers a manpage for "lsz" (which covers all the programs.)  It took me a while to find this page though, so it would be nice if it could be symlinked to the rest of the utilities, so I can "man sz" (or sb, sx, rz, etc.) and get some information about those commands without needing to know about the "lsz" manpage.

Thanks for the suggestion, assigning to maintainers.

BTW, did you end up running 'makewhatis' after installing the package so that 'man -k' allows you to search the newly installed man pages? It will help in instances like this.

Oh, I didn't know about 'man -k', thanks for the info!  Yes, that will certainly help next time :-)
