So documentation is not only missing but necessary.
For sure. I do have getconf man pages on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 22.04. Very different pages!
I wasn't clear enough. Docs are necessary because the command doesn't behave the way it claims. It lists a variable under '-a' which it doesn't recognise when given directly. This is either a bug or I'm misunderstanding how it's supposed to work, but with no docs it's impossible to tell.
