The following reply was made to PR docs/32054; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Simon L. Nielsen" <simon@nitro.dk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, koich@cac.co.jp Cc: Subject: Re: docs/32054: inconsistency between index.3 and rindex.3 Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 00:27:05 +0200 --BFVE2HhgxTpCzM8t Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="yr/DzoowOgTDcSCF" Content-Disposition: inline --yr/DzoowOgTDcSCF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello It seems very logical to merge the two man pages like suggested in the PR. I have a few minor changed to the patch that Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@freebsd.org> added to the PR : * No .Lp - there is no seperation between functions in other similar man pages and it renderes in the same way if it is removed. * Slight rewording of the rindex() description. * Fix a .Fn in the RETURN value section to actually reference rindex (appears to be a typo in the original patch). * Remove reference to rindex.3 in Makefile.inc Note if this patch is applied rindex.3 should be removed from the cvs tree. --=20 Simon L.
