>Organization:
>Environment:
2.2.8-STABLE. Verified it still exists in 3.2-STABLE
>Description:
In the sh(1) manpage, in the portion about 'Functions,' we
have the following crime against the English language,
"Making ``-''
local any shell options that are changed via the set command inside the
function to be restored to their original values when the function re-
turns."
This sentence has no verb, and I do not understand what it is
trying to say.
>How-To-Repeat:
man sh
>Fix:
Since I went to the manpage to read about shell functions and
I can't understand it... I can't write a correction.
