MySQL Bugs: #11999: perror --ndb option documentation

Bug #11999	perror --ndb option documentation
Submitted:	18 Jul 2005 8:27	Modified:	1 Aug 2005 16:07
Reporter:	Hartmut Holzgraefe	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Cluster: Cluster (NDB) storage engine	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1, 5.0	OS:	Any (*)
Assigned to:	Tomas Ulin	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
the --ndb option to perror is only documented in the cluster section of the manual,
not in the general section on perror (8.12. perror, Explaining Error Codes)

the option is also not listed in the output of "perror --help"

How to repeat:
try 

  perror --help

or see

  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/perror.html

The problem with perror --help output is actually that the --ndb option is given
0 as its id as it has no short option character assigned, but it should get an id
>256 in that case as an id of zero is the end marker for my_print_help()
