Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39

Description:
The bash manpage doesn't document the -n option. It is mentioned with
the -D option, but not documented itself.
Repeat-By:
bash -n <somescript>
Fix:
Update manpage, with something like this (from ksh manpage):
-n Read commands and check them for syntax errors,
but do not execute them. Ignored for interac-
tive shells.
