Description of problem: this is the usage message: zdump: usage is zdump [ --version ] [ -v ] [ -c [loyear,]hiyear ] zonename ... and this is the SYNOPSIS in manpage: zdump [ -v ] [ -c cutoffyear ] [ zonename ... ] the manpage 1) does not list the "--version" option 2) describes only one parameter to the "-c" option while two can be used Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-common-2.5-34.el5_3.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. zdump --help 2. man zdump Actual results: .qa.[root@ppcp-5s-m1 tps]# zdump --help zdump: invalid option -- - zdump: usage is zdump [ --version ] [ -v ] [ -c [loyear,]hiyear ] zonename ... (see above) Expected results: (zdump accepts the --help option) (see above) Additional info: Note that while I do not make it the explicit point of this report, as this is only vaguely connected with it, I would also like the zdump to accept the widely used "--help" option to print the usage message without complaining. But before opening separate bugreport, I'd like to ask if it is reasonable RFE to have this option implemented?
The manpage is not part of glibc.
