[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#487390: /bin/openvt: openvt man page does not document -f switch

[Marc Haber]

Package: kbd
Version: 1.14.1-3
Severity: minor
File: /bin/openvt

Hi,

openvt's man page does not document an -f switch. That switch seems to
exist though, and does the same than the -f switch in console-tools'
openvt:

       -f     Force  opening  a  VT:  don’t try to check if a VT is already in
              use.

debian:~# openvt -c 9 bash
openvt: vt 9 is in use; command aborted
        use openvt -f' to force.
debian:~# openvt -f -c 9 bash
debian:~# man openvt | grep -- -f
debian:~# dpkg --search $(which openvt)
kbd: /bin/openvt
debian:~#

Greetings
Marc
