Description IBM Bug Proxy 2011-11-08 22:40:26 UTC 
While testing lsmcode noticed different options generating similar information on F16 PPC64 build Fedora-20111017-ppc64. For "lsmcode -r" and 'lsmcode -c" I found similar output.

[root@elm17f131 ~]# lsmcode -c
Version of System Firmware is AL720_101 (t) AL720_073 (p) AL720_101 (t)

[root@elm17f131 ~]# lsmcode -r
Version of System Firmware is AL720_101 (t) AL720_073 (p) AL720_101 (t)

[root@elm17f131 ~]# lsmcode

A collection of utilities for Linux on PPC64 platforms.

These options are confusing, and should be removed from the man pages. This is also discussed for RHEL 5.7 in RH Bug 739706.

Hi All,
Verified this on Fedora 17 alpha PPC64 , and  there is no "-r" and "-c" options available for lsmcode.
Looks like It is fixed now wit F17 alpha PPC64.

Here is the output :

[root@c57f1ju0203 ~]# lsmcode -r
Usage: /usr/sbin/lsmcode [options]
options:
--help,       -h     print this usage message
--debug,      -D     print extra information about devices (sysfs locations, etc)
--version,    -v     print the version of vpd tools
--All,        -A     Display microcode level for as many devices as possible.
this implies -r.
--device=DEV, -dDEV  Only display microcode level for specified device (DEV).
--path=DB,    -pDB   DB is the full path to VPD db file, used instead of default.
--zip=GZ,     -zGZ   File GZ contains database archive (overrides -d).
[root@c57f1ju0203 ~]# lsmcode
Version of System Firmware is ZL730_036 (t) ZL730_036 (p) ZL730_036 (t)

[root@c57f1ju0203 ~]# uname -a
Linux c57f1ju0203.ppd.pok.ibm.com 3.3.0-1.fc17.ppc64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 21 18:52:34 MST 2012 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux

Thanks...
