Fixed In Version: memtest86+-5.01-2.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Previously the memtest-setup command didn't support the --help parameter. Consequence: This parameter was mentioned in the manual page, but unrecognized by the memtest-setup command which may confuse users and lower user experience. Fix: The memtest-setup command was fixed to support the --help parameter. Result: Now the memtest-setup supports the --help command and is consitent with the manual page.
