Hi,    The man page for snort doesn’t list two valid alert modes. If I run the command “man snort” to view the snort 
man page, next to the –A alert-mode option, it says “Valid alert modes include fast, full, none, and unsock”.  However, 
when I run the command “snort --help”, it also lists the modes console and test (in addition to all the modes listed in 
the man page).    This caused me some confusion as I am just learning snort and trying to determine valid alert mode 
options for simple testing of alerts.    Can the man page be corrected so that the –A option lists the console and test 
modes?    I am using snort version 2.9.7.0 GRE (Build 149), which was compiled from source. 
Thanks,
