FreeBSD gaspode.meersau.de 5.5-STABLE FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE #11: Sat Nov 24 14:09:04 CET \
2007     root@gaspode.meersau.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GASPODE  i386

> Description:
If I try to add a entry in a pf table the option -T must follow -t so this command \
fails:

% sudo pfctl -T add 86.51.7.205 -t badhosts
No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled
usage: pfctl [-AdeghNnOqRrvz] [-a anchor[:ruleset]] [-D macro=value]
             [-F modifier] [-f file] [-i interface] [-k host] [-p device]
             [-s modifier] [-T command [address ...]] [-t table] [-x level]
%

The help message does display the -t option behind -T.

I think it would be help to see the options in the right order.

Also the order in the manpage is to be corrected, but I don't know the syntax.
> How-To-Repeat:
pfctl -T add 86.51.7.205 -t badhosts
