Man page errors for rpcgen(1)
While perusing this man page, I found a couple of items which might be
errors. (They could also be problems with my feeble brain trying to
grasp all the concepts...)
First,
In the description of the -K option, the text says that '-K 0' causes
the server to exit immediately, while '-K -1' causes the server to never
exit. Yet, the final paragraph seems to contradict that, with
If it is known that a server will be used with such a monitor,
the server should exit immediately on completion. For such
servers, rpcgen should be used with ``-K -1''.
I think that that last entry should say
... with ``-K -1''
??
Second,
In the description of the -I option, the last sentence references the
compiler macro RCP_SVC_FG. Yet everything related to rpc seems to use a
prefix of RPC; should this be changed to RCP_SVC_FG?
... it places itself in the background, unless RCP_SVC_FG is
defined, or the server is compiled without -I.
Are these actual man-page errors? Or is my feeble brain confusing me
more than it usually does? :)
