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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1608 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE policycoreutils bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:39:06 UTC

Description Michal Trunecka 2012-10-19 09:54:47 UTC
Man page contains:
       -R, --role
              SELinux Roles.  You must enclose multiple roles  within  quotes,
              separate by spaces. Or specify -R multiple times.

Help contains:
	-R, --roles      SELinux Roles (ex: "sysadm_r staff_r")

As the program searches for the prefix in options, this is not a bug, only documentation issue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0

Steps to Reproduce: 
Compare   semanage -h    and    man semanage


Actual results: 
-R --rule(s) inconsistent

Expected results:
consistent option

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-11-16 09:02:40 UTC
Yes, you can see the same for more options. Basically "man page" contains more detailed info.

Comment 3 Michal Trunecka 2013-08-20 09:06:46 UTC
This issue is not about the text, but about the long option. Once it is --role and once --roles (with 's').
