Bug#941422: xrandr man page NAME line doesn't give functionality



Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.7+8
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/xrandr.1.gz

# apropos randr
xbacklight (1)       - adjust backlight brightness using RandR extension
xrandr (1)           - primitive command line interface to RandR extension

Therefore this should be
xrandr (1)           - adjust size, orientation, reflection of a screen (using RandR extension)

As whatever the RandR extension was, doesn't matter/isn't documented at
the apropos level anyway.



By the way
$ man xrandr
...
       Xrandr is used to set the size, orientation and/or reflection of the outputs for a screen. It can also set the screen size.
                                 ^^^^                                                     ^^^^^^  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You already mentioned that!
