clone for rhel5 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #962394 +++ Description of problem: Please, update xfs_io man page to include documentation for the following commands: chproj lsproj setfl Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfsprogs-3.1.1-10.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run xfstests test no. 293 that checks for this behaviour. 2. 3. Actual results: The test fails reporting the missing documentation for the threee commands. Expected results: The commands are documented. Additional info: The test case seems to be written by Eric Sandeen. Hence, I searched the bugzilla for a similar report. However, I didn't find any RHEL 6 report for this lack of documentation. xfs_io -c help already provides basic documentation for the three commands: chproj [-D | -R] projid -- change project identifier on the currently open file lsproj [-D | -R] -- list project identifier set on the currently open file setfl [-adx] -- set/clear append/direct flags on the open file --- Additional comment from Eric Sandeen on 2013-05-13 12:57:08 EDT --- commit 83c324088f8e60133016409752b08f74e19e8b37 Author: Eric Sandeen <sandeen> Date: Sat Dec 8 20:55:18 2012 +0000 xfsprogs: document all commands in xfs_io Add missing command documentation to xfs_io(8) manpage. fiemap, fpunch, chproj, lsproj, and setfl are all missing. setfl seems to not work today in any case, and nothing in xfstests uses it; I will send another patch to simply remove it from xfs_io, as I don't think it's terribly useful, and hasn't worked forever anyway. Also fix references to the fallocate manpage, which is (now?) in section 2, not section 3 of the man pages. (Since it's a syscall, not a library function).

Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen> Reviewed-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino> Signed-off-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely> If we are allowed to update xfsprogs in 6.5 it'd be easy to include these 2 commits.
