Title:
pmap man page is incomplete.
Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The man page for pmap (located at
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/pmap.1.html) is
incomplete in the following respect:
The "GENERAL OPTIONS" section notes that the -x option "Shows the
extended format" and the -d option "shows the device format".
There is no documentation of what information the extended or device
formats contain. The only hint given is in the STANDARDS section,
which unhelpfully states "No standards apply, but pmap looks an awful
lot like a SunOS command."
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release: 10.04
This flaw in the documentation is current in the 12.04 documentation;
the documentation hasn't been updated since 2002.
Package: procps
$ apt-cache policy procps
