https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286373 --- Comment #4 from Mikhail T. <freebsd-2024@virtual-estates.net> --- > Saying the flag was ignored without explanation isn't very helpful. I'm counting on warn(3) appending the explanation: % fmt -A < /dev/null > /dev/null fmt: ignoring the -A option: Inappropriate ioctl for device Maybe, adding a more detailed message to the most common reason for the error would be useful to some, but other callers of warn(3) don't usually bother with that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
