dump database, with capacity

[John Flynn]

Hi.

I'm looking at the ASE15 commands reference manual, for the dump database
command. It says "You must supply a capacity for dump devices specified as a
physical path name". And "must" is italicized. But then Example #1 is:

dump database pubs2 to "/dev/nrmt0"

That instantly seems to violate the rule. Just for yuks I looked at the
ASE11.5 manual and it has the same thing. What gives?
