Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Cause:
The tc utility documentation was lacking description of
the batch option.
Consequence:
Poor documentation leads to user frustration.
Fix:
The description of the -batch option was added to the
manpage.
Result:
General documentation improvements.
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.
