https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274343 --- Comment #8 from Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org> --- @mirabilos: Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tested with the system /usr/bin/man command on FreeBSD as well before closing the issue. /usr/bin/man -l man1/mksh.1.gz|head MKSH(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual MKSH(1) NAME mksh, sh - MirBSD Korn shell SYNOPSIS mksh [-+abCefhiklmnprUuvXx] [-T [!]tty | -] [-+o option] [-c string | -s | file [argument ...]] builtin-name [argument ...] Which looks fine to me. On FreeBSD, the /usr/bin/man is a shell script which tries to find the real path of a manpage, and then call mandoc or groff to render the manpage. /usr/bin/gzcat man1/mksh.1.gz | mandoc | less -s or: /usr/bin/gzcat man1/mksh.1.gz | tbl | groff -S -P-h -Wall -mtty-char -mandoc -Tascii -P-c | less -s -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
