Problem: In the chgrp.1 man page, the full stop should be inside the parentheses: "If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed)." In the cut.1 man page, the full stop should be outside the parentheses: "The list specifies fields, separated in the input by the field delimiter character (see the -d option.) Output fields are separated by a single occurrence of the field delimiter character." >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Index: chgrp.1 =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/usr.sbin/chown/chgrp.1,v retrieving revision 1.19 diff -u -r1.19 chgrp.1 --- chgrp.1 13 Feb 2005 22:25:27 -0000 1.19 +++ chgrp.1 17 Mar 2009 18:54:26 -0000 @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ If the .Fl R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. -(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed). +(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.) .It Fl L If the .Fl R Index: cut.1 =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/usr.bin/cut/cut.1,v retrieving revision 1.32 diff -u -r1.32 cut.1 --- cut.1 28 Feb 2007 10:13:32 -0000 1.32 +++ cut.1 17 Mar 2009 18:57:41 -0000 @@ -112,7 +112,7 @@ specifies fields, separated in the input by the field delimiter character (see the .Fl d -option.) +option).
