[ARGUS] a note for the man pages ...

[Carter Bullard]

Sorry, I didn't finish my thought before I hit the send button.
Should I change it so that the example reads:

   -s +2srcid    adds source id as the 3rd field

or should I modify/add more examples for clarity:

   -s +0lasttime              adds the last timestamp as the 1st field
                              of the default output string.

   -s +1smpls +2svlan +3smac  adds the source mpls and vlan identifiers
                              as the 2nd and 3rd columns and the source
                              mac address as the 4th column to the default
                              output list.

So don't all of us computer geeks start counting with 0?

I've changed the entry in the manpage to do the right
thing with the example.  Should I change it so that the
example reads:

   -s +2srcid    adds source id as the 3rd field

	I just discovered that

RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER=+2lasttime

didn't do what I expected (i.e. make lastime field 2 in the output, it makes
it
field 3). This may be useful to use in an example in the man page to show
what is going to happen (it would also be useful to have the default field
names listed there I expect). What I really want is

RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER=+1lasttime
