Description of problem:
In the alternatives(8) man page it currently says:

--auto link
--display link

When it SHOULD (according to how /sbin/alternatives operates) be

--auto name
--display name

The text for both --auto and --display should be adjusted as well.

Also, to be consistent, in the section describing --install, replace all
occurances of "gen" with "name".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man alternatives
2.n/a
3.n/a
	

Actual Results:  n/a

Expected Results:  n/a

Additional info:

This fix is important, possibly justifying an errata release as the currently
shipping (incorrect) man page is the ONLY(1) source of documentation from Red
Hat on /sbin/alternatives.

It would be nice to see something in the Reference Guide or Customization Guide.

1, Well, there is --help too (which is correct) if you consider it documentation.

BTW, I'm doing my duty, as the man page says:

If you find any discrepancy between the operation of alternatives and this
manual page, it is a bug, either in the implementation or the documentation;
please report it.
