Description Gary W. Swearingen 2002-01-25 04:10:00 UTC 
The dump(8) man page has several problems:

-- It confusing in its use of "records", "blocks", "blocksize", etc.
-- It doesn't give -b's default, 10.
-- It doesn't say that -B argument gets rounded down.
-- It doesn't mention "rdump" except in "NAME" section.
-- It uses both "filesystem" and "file system" in similar contexts.
-- It doesn't describe the "filesystem" argument.
-- The second SYNOPSIS command improperly shows required options as
optional.
================

Fix: patch -d "unknown uncompressed man directory" < this-PR
How-To-Repeat: n/a
