Hello, I'd like to know where to find documentation and explanations for commands that do no have a man file. for example, 'fsck' has its traditional, not upated for OS X man file. yet, their's the fsck_hfs which doesn't have any man file. so how are we supposed to know how to use it. for example, when Disk Utility verifies a disk it runs 'fsck_hfs -n -g'. the '-n' is for fsck to assume no as the answer to all operator questions (got from man fsck, unless 'fsck_hfs' is radically different from the normal 'fsck'). so what is '-g' for? how are users supposed to know (concerning this and other OS X-specific commands)?

I'm on OS X 10.1 5L14 (security update) and I have the 10.1 developer tools installed.

There is no documentation, and this is a bug. The state of manpages on OS X is pretty appalling. I suggest you file a bug, see http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/bugs.html for the opensource components of OS X and http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter for the non-opensource components of OS X. This is a bug relating to an opensource component of OS X that is in Darwin, so you should probably use that bug report page.
