Documentation Bug Report (ping(8))

From: David J. Haines <hidden>

Hello,

It appears that the manpage for ping(8) isn't being compiled correctly
as in the options section, it reads:

...
-B Do not allow ping to change source address of probes. The address is
bound to
one selected when ping starts.

Stop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST
...
-V Show version and exit.

Specify a timeout, in seconds, before
ping exits regardless of how many packets have been sent
...

When it should have "-c" and "-w" before "Stop" and "Specify,"
respectively. I don't really read SGML, but it appears that the option
to include the missing parameters simply isn't enabled as part of the
build process.

Thanks,
