It wasn't in the man page from Red Hat 5.2 when I checked in 2017, either. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/09/msg01038.html Here's another thread from 2018: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/08/msg01433.html Note that this time, Gene omitted the comma, and said that the resolv.conf file "looks something like this"; IOW he's going from memory rather than just catting the file. And a thread from 2019: https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2019/06/msg00046.html This time the comma is gone, and Gene may or may not have actually catted the file -- we can't be sure, because he does not paste the actual terminal session including the shell prompt and the command issued. As I've said, we've been through this for literally YEARS.
