Bug #3433	Need man pages for all excecutables
Submitted:	10 Apr 2004 6:20	Modified:	28 Mar 2007 17:05

Version:	all	OS:
Assigned to:	Paul DuBois	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The following executables need man pages:
comp_err
make_win_src_distribution
msql2mysql
my_print_defaults
myisam_ftdump
myisamchk
myisamlog
myisampack
mysql_config
mysql_convert_table_format
mysql_explain_log
mysql_find_rows
mysql_fix_extensions
mysql_install
mysql_install_db
mysql_secure_installation
mysql_setpermission
mysql_tableinfo
mysql_waitpid
mysqlbinlog
mysqlbug
mysqlcheck
mysqldumpslow
mysqlhotcopy
mysqlimport
mysqlmanager
mysqlmanager-pwgen
mysqlmanagerc
mysqltest
pack_isam
resolve_stack_dump
resolveip

How to repeat:
e. g. 

% man comp_err
No manual entry for comp_err

There are no plans to produce additional manual pages.
Those manual pages that are available were contributed
by third parties. In most cases, these manual pages
contain information similar to what is available by
running a given program with its --help option.
Also, the man pages may be out of date. The current
state of a program's operation should be available in
the MySQL Reference Manual.

As discussed with Al via email, Apple volunteered to provide a "dummy" man page - stating that the
manual page for this specific application does not exist. Apple offered to send a copy of it to us, so
we can include it in the source distribution.

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

Assigning this bug report to myself. Most of the programs
mentioned have manpages now, but I will check to make sure
that the rest are handled as well.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.

Manpages for all of the named programs have been created and
will appear in future releases, with the following exceptions:

mysql_install: Used only before 4.1 and is no longer installed
mysqlbug: Superceded by http://bugs.mysql.com
mysqldumpslow: Documentation is waiting on Bug#25855; when
that bug is closed, a mysqldumpslow manpage will be created.
