Description Phil Sutter 2017-08-31 16:14:15 UTC

This issue was detected by rpmdiff tool: iptables-utils RPM does not contain a man page for nfnl_osf utility. This is consistent with upstream, so one has to write one first.

Comment 2 Phil Sutter 2017-09-20 16:58:38 UTC

Patches sent upstream: https://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=150592646409406&w=2
Series contains a fix to nfnl_osf help output as well, which also should be backported (so help output and man page stay consistent).

Upstream accepted my patches:

    utils: nfnl_osf: Fix synopsis in help text
    
    * -d is optional
    * -h is not really a flag, just anything not recognized triggers the
      help output.
    * That '<del rules>' bit is rather confusing than helpful.
