netstat behavour according to LANG environment variable

Jdamian — Tue, 04 Feb 2003 16:58:23 GMT

I found 'netstat -rnv' command prints or misses 'Refs' field in header according to value of LANG environment variable.

Check the next headers...

# LANG=C netstat -rnv
Routing tables
Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Use Interface Pmtu

# LANG=C.iso88591 netstat -rnv
Routing tables
Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu

I think it is a bug, doesn't it ?

I agree, seems to be a bug in the "C" catalog. However it seems to be fixed in 11.11.

BTW, the "hardcoded" catalog is OK also:

LANG= netstat -rnv
Routing tables
Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu

You are right, Dietmar.
Look at output of the following commands:

#dumpmsg /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/netstat.cat | grep Gateway

6 Gateway
36 Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Use Interface Pmtu\n
37 Destination Gateway Flags Use Interface Pmtu\n

#strings /usr/bin/netstat | grep Gateway
Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu

P.D: how to report this kind of bugs to HP ?

Done.
In fact I just reported this defect as JAGae59146. However, we should not expect a patch especially for this problem. :-)

Best regards...
