Bullshit. The xattr tool sis just one of many examples showing how wrong

that's why there's a system pref to turn it on or off.

os x may be based on unix but it's not unix to the end user. end users
don't care, nor do they need to.

Nope.

Nope. You are conflating UNIX with Linux. Not the same thing.

I'll give you an example.

I initially had problems with Postfix on the Xserve where the RBL
lookups would sometimes work, sometimes fail. No logic to it, but it
resulted in a lot more spam than the more primitive mail server on VMS
that I had before.

Turns out that attempts to resolve via IPv6 would return "not found"
which the mail server took as "not on the RBL list, ok to process that
email".

Looking at the man pages for either the resolver or BIND server, I was
able to find the switch to disable IPv6 lookups and this fixed the
problem. It required editing the startup .plist to make it permanent.

Yet, this is a deamon nobody starts/stops, and having documentation on
it was extremely handy.

"stopped, started or MANAGED".

If there is a daemon that has no management options, then there would 
be nothing for the man page to say.

So your example of how bad it is to not have man pages is about a
well-known process with literally gigabytes of online documentation and
man pages in OS X?

Really?

That's all you've got?

So I know what they're doing, obviously.  Perhaps, since I don't even 
have iCloud activated, I would like to learn how to disable the iCloud 
daemon that's constantly running?  Maybe the people who have discovered 
runaway processes (agan, many complaints here on the Apple Support 
forums) could check what they are and what they're doing?

Maybe you're not a tinkerer, and maybe you don't use the BSD layer on 
OS X that often.  That's fine.  But for people who do use the BSD layer 
this documentation is expected as a regular part of the system.

As I said before I expect this kind of crap from Microsoft, but not 
Apple.  In the Steve days you had man pages for everything that at 
least told you that you're not supposed to run the program.  Many 
included references too.

Why does that matter? Is there a man page for the kernel in Linux?

And you can't figure it out without a man page?

Here's a novel thought for you: do you think Apple is building systems 
for tinkerers?

No. In the "Steve days" you had man pages for processes that came to 
the Mac with man pages and for some others.

They were largely irrelevant to the vast majority of Mac users.

Bla bla bla.  I'm sure you are really keen on making me run around and 
pluck out references "proving" everything I said, so you can throw up a 
bunch of one-liners at me again.  It has to be a major source of 
entertainment for you.

Forget it man.  All the problems I list with OS X are obvious, well 
known, and easily discovered by you.  Figure it out for yourself if 
you're so interested.

The fact of the matter is, the Unix neckbeard guy was the first to buy 
into OS X, and he is going to be the first to leave.  You can handwave 
and deny that Unix is important to OS X (to which I would have to say, 
that you're nuts if you actually believe it) but it's the truth, and if 
Apple keeps letting it go to shit it's going to massively hurt them in 
the long term.

I have yet to actually see you contribute usefully to any thread that 
you've posted in.  You instead seem to please yourself with Jesuitical 
or Talmudic or Juristic attempts to deconstruct, nitpick, or otherwise 
cross-examine people who seem to want to actually have a conversation, 
without actually contrinuting anything yourself.  You demand references 
and proof and whatnot from people, but you haven't proffered anything 
more than a surly opinion of your own.

With that, I must say:

ker-PLONK  *flusshhhhhhh*

Sorry, but lack of man pages for processes you aren't supposed to 
interact with directly is just not a real problem.

Unix is utterly irrelevant to OS X's success. If Apple removed it 
entirely tomorrow but kept all the standard functionality found within 
the OS X GUI only a relative handful of OS X users would even know it 
had happened

Oh yes, it's hugely entertaining for foolish people to spout off pure
bullshit and have to correct their idiotic lies.

You can't back up what you say, so fuck it! Got it.

Sounds more like you are the one who can't figure shit out. More fool
you. For the rest of us, missing man pages are no obstacle what-so-ever.

You're clueless if that's what you think. You're also completely out of
touch with "the Unix neckbeard guy", which is readily apparent to anyone
with a clue.

Yes, Apple is doomed. DOOMED! Heard it all before from your ilk. You'd
get along well with JF Mezie. In the mean time, I'm not holding my
breath.

You wouldn't know. You don't pay enough attention.

Translation: "I got nothing, man, so I'll just pretend what I'm saying

As someone who makes significant use of the Unix layer, I can say you're
just plain wrong. I don't have to interact with the listed tools and
daemons, and do not need them documented in man pages.

Bullshit. The xattr tool came along long before Steve passed away and
didn't have a man page until fairly recently, after his death.
