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 of problem:
Missing --attach in the virt-viewer man page

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


How reproducible:
virt-viewer-0.5.2-4.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virt-viewer --help-all
...
-a, --attach       Attach to the local display using libvirt
...
#man virt-viewer
No content in #man virt-viewer

Fixed upstream

commit ad5d29da5ea586a42e3aafeb2cb54ff15efa68cf
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange>
Date:   Tue Apr 17 12:42:39 2012 +0100

    Add manpage docs for the --attach option

Verified this issue with:
# rpm -q virt-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.2-5.el6.x86_64

#man virt-viewer
....
       -a, --attach
           Use libvirt to directly attach to a local display, instead of making a TCP/UNIX socket connection. This avoids the need to
           authentication with the remote display, if authentication with libvirt is already allowed.  This option does not work with remote
           displays.
....
