Subject: man 1 getopts example code - wrong dash
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 15:16:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADOJ=xsjhuZ7_r8JXgfcgXVRi-bf1gN9irBnOePra+i-xv9HuA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

in the examples section of `man 1 getopts`, every dash/minus used in the
example code cannot be parsed by bash. vi claims it's 0x2212 instead of 0x2d.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 with bash 4.3.46(1)-release. Unfortunately I couldn't find
the source code for this man page, but the current online pages entry also has
this problem: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/getopts.1p.html

The containing package is:

   $ dpkg -S $(man -w 1 getopts)
   manpages-posix: /usr/share/man/man1/getopts.1posix.gz

Kind regards

Marcus Geiger
