I mean I am wondering if rewriting "1" with ">0" is reasonable or not. "1>0" is always true, but "1" is not equal to ">0". Some other manual pages have the description "1 on error.". If we have a consensus on that this rewriting is reasonable, we should also rewrite them in consistency. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Jan__5_03_22_11_2009_552)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAklg/lQACgkQTyzT2CeTzy1kqQCZAZTyiCRUjtxLKYQomHxHMfPI 5A4An3tcnp9SFvvt6X67rMjqW22DjB4P =JxDs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Jan__5_03_22_11_2009_552)----
