Description of problem: When you try to get help for the ferror command with 'ferror -help', you see the output quite badly mangled and badly readable. The problem is that is seems that in the line for '-e' option, '--error' and the description for the option are switched, which renders first column too long, making the second very narrow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): frysk-0.0.1.2008.03.19.rh1-1.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ferror -help Actual results: mangled output Expected results: nice output
Looks to be fixed upstream.
It does look like it is solved upstream, but appearances can deceive :) It looks fixed because the option groups changed, so -e is the only option in its group. But if you look closely you see that it is still strangely formatted: ferror options: -e error regex to catch in double quotes -e "<error string>" --error The real problem is that it was using the wrong Options constructor (wrong order of arguments. I pushed a fix upstream: commit 2cadcd56c2fd4e1913739994da28f1f8d1f817a4 Author: Mark Wielaard <mwielaard> Date: Thu Apr 10 12:27:05 2008 +0200 Use correct Options constructor for ferror. frysk-core/frysk/bindir/ChangeLog 2008-04-10 Mark Wielaard <mwielaard> * ferror.java (options): Use correct Options constructor. Now it says: ferror options: -e, -error <error string> error regex to catch in double quotes
