During their work translators notice different possible issues in the original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original. We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check each and every issue. Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format, i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man, groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into your source format. Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify them. I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should use another channel, please let me know. ** Man page: execve.2 Issue: Missing full stop after "NULL pointer" "I is an array of pointers to strings passed to the new program as it= s " "command-line arguments. By convention, the first of these strings (i.e., " "I) should contain the filename associated with the file being " "executed. The I array must be terminated by a NULL pointer (Thus, i= n " "the new program, I will be NULL.)" --=20 Dr. Helge Kreutzmann debian@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/ --=_luckmann.name-26381-1594030273-0001-2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEbZZfteMW0gNUynuwQbqlJmgq5nAFAl8C+MEACgkQQbqlJmgq 5nCRug//aCtDRdOmQ3a08C8u78fN1gm/0MrWVivZgfSPnyf5ibGg87MrYIwIWEnW UHXQbEt4XsMhNoATxYM8dvj1zAwlV/H31BvGsljPezVZrLyh7SRTNHhRzdzzrXRM UBPpT3bJkzOYGMA3EeX6YUnxqyi/HIWpaw3tUPaVAQueR9Iaq6oan2iVEWZ90bmN 7OEaa5c4Oe2PVa/n4TFVCPd7NycX3WF7SeYnel9WPESHhOwku52KjqxQRRJXzLz5 rbKOxO7VAKEgYjwfYSKZ0vLU4qS5L3HzYoakfG+qatADXkww40jYaj5paQExZyGd pGtCA7bKSu+AF30Reec2saT2CYxMjohNuurLBC7IdUcW77qHwiZBRqPb7tbzPu7Y fQZ/z+vz0JK8UkK9eFj7tmRSMdm7s2vYVsKQXvmHgV2lgwZlkug3EkURbJ9NOqEd CYSZiRLDmnRPlOKCzvH+gHRdTn5U2RJGuq7Q9vjfZ5eIRknKGFy/M8KUdbdbDqVk 4UUAMrFiV92hJa1a1ajYPTrwDmQe0v7J3UIxjATtqxOSu2QkuPSYdZD0Dgr7rYfD kw6ux5VA6nKu04+nTr2hfb+zpXh06EzaaNWo0NrX4KF+vpBC117ZysSmUPqfg4YH X7auQFM6i8udzyjFWeiqESmjf15hAfLL3dZLSXKAPJDLqGJVDaQ= =rJ5Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_luckmann.name-26381-1594030273-0001-2--
