smpatch man pages

I have installed all of the latest patches on our T2000. I see that smpatch has some new arguments and parameters. The smpatch man page does not look like it has been updated to reflect these changes.

I do like the idea of the subdocument command (not sure how long that has been there) and wanted to read about it in detail.

Cheers,

Aaron

Sorry. I agree. My first post was vague.

When the usage is displayed when you run smpatch without arguments it shows subcommands like this..

*SNIP*

smpatch getdocument [opts] document-class/name ...

Where document-class is ReadMe|collection|category|xml|

EISManifest|EISBundle|TLPMetadata

-n system-name

-H host-name:port

-u user-name

-p user-password

-r role-name

-l role-password

-V

smpatch getdocument -L document-class/name ...

-V

Where document-class is ReadMe|collection|category|xml|

EISManifest|EISBundle|TLPMetadata

smpatch messages

-a display-all-messages

-V

*SNIP*

These subcommands are not contained or described in the man pages associated with smpatch. I kinda guessed what they meant and issued smpatch getdocument ReadMe/121118-11 but it was luck that it worked.

My release and revisions are below.

cat /etc/release

I'll enquire about the disparity, and post back.
