Bug#1246: ps man page does not agree with implementation
Package: procps
Version: 0.97-4
man ps does not mention the 'g' option.
sfere:richard$ ps g
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
4303 pp0 S 0:03 -bash
4319 pp1 S 0:00 (emacsserver)
4320 pp1 S 0:00 (emacsserver)
4321 pp1 S 0:00 (emacsserver)
4688 pp2 SW 0:00 (bash)
4791 pp0 R 0:00 ps g
sfere:richard$ ps z
usage: ps -acehjlnrsSuvwx{t<tty>|#|O[-]u[-]U..} \
--sort:[-]key1,[-]key2,...
--help gives you this message
sfere:richard$
The g option should be mentioned in the man page as an option ignored
for compatibility and should describe its function on other systems.
