Bug ID: 219359
Summary: V6.9.1: getent.1 "-A" option is not documented
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: man-pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No

man-pages V6.9.1:

getent.1 does not document the "-A/--no-addrconfig" option.

A brief description of -A does appear in the --help blurb, but imo, most users without specific expertise in this area -- such as myself -- are not likely to appreciate what this option actually accomplishes based only on that one-liner from the help text. A few sentences of doc in the man page is really needed.
