The dd manpage still has an formattig error in the section which
describes the FLAGS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Each FLAG symbol may be:
append append mode (makes sense only for output; conv=notrunc
suggested)
direct use direct I/O for data
directory fail unless a directory dsync use synchro-
nized I/O for data sync likewise, but also for meta-
data nonblock use non-blocking I/O noatime do not
update access time noctty do not assign controlling
terminal from file nofollow do not follow symlinks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The issue was reported in this posting:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-07/msg00170.html
("dd: adjust --help output so help2man formats the man page properly")
I have found no answer to this posting. As the dd manpage of GNU
coreutils 6.12 (which come with Fedora 10) has still the display error
in the manpage, I think that this posting got overlooked.
It would be nice if this could get corrected for future versions.
Thank you and best regards,
Werner
