[Pkg-icecast-devel] Bug#573928: ezstream manpage is incomplete and incorrect

[Philip Muskovac]

Package: ezstream
Version: 0.5.6~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Forwarded from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ezstream/+bug/538589

Man page says:
"ezstream [-h] [-c CONFIGFILE]"

This indicates only two possible flags, and also indicates that -c is optional.

Running "ezstream" produces this:

"You must supply a config file with the -c argument.
usage: ezstream [-hnqVv] -c configfile"
       ezstream -s [playlist]

Here we see that -c is required, and also the existence of 5 other undocumented flags.
