https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210377 Bug ID: 210377 Summary: usr.bin/comm update manpage Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tcberner@gmail.com Created attachment 171553 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=171553&action=edit Be more precise in the manpage. The manpage of /usr/bin/comm says at the moment, that file1 and file2 "should be sorted". This gives the impression that it will work as expected if the files are not sorted, but maybe with a slight penalty on performance. It is however the case, that unsorted files do not work as expected: Example: % cat file1 line1 line3 line2 % cat file2 line1 line2 line3 % comm -12 file1 file2 line1 line3 The attached patch changes the language to "have to be sorted". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
