Description Hubert Kario 2013-04-09 13:03:14 EDT

Description of problem:
Man page of tc doesn't describe usage of -batch option while output from 'tc -help' does mention it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iproute-2.6.32-23.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man tc
2. search for batch
3.
  
Actual results:
No description found

Expected results:
Description on how it's used, what are the possible inputs, etc.

Additional info:
The bug is present in Fedora 18 too, so it's quite likely not fixed upstream and present in all distributions.

Created attachment 734273 [details]
add short description of batch mode in tc man page

I've prepared a simple patch of the man page to add short description of -batch and -force switches.

The patch was also sent to iproute2 mailing list and man page maintainer.
