Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Kaluža 2010-10-19 11:58:02 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #642936 +++

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
logrotate-3.7.4-9.el5_5.1

Steps to Reproduce:
# ./compare-options.sh /usr/sbin/logrotate 
Program path:
	/usr/sbin/logrotate
Man pages found:
	/usr/share/man/man8/logrotate.8.gz
The binary analysis was NOT done
Doing man page vs. usage message comparison

The program reported 13 option(s)
The man page reported 12 option(s)
9 COMMON option(s):
	--force
	--mail
	--state
	--usage
	-d
	-f
	-m
	-s
	-v
4 option(s) reported by the program ONLY:
	--debug
	--help
	--verbose
	-?
3 option(s) reported by the man page ONLY:
	-HUP
	-dv
	-force

-HUP is false positive (it is used in text like an example of killall)
-dv is false positive (it is combination of -d and -v)

Actual results: 
no all parameters of program are in man page and 1 in man page is wrong (typo)

Expected results:
all parameters in program and man page are same
