The branch main has been updated by mhorne: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=82bc33d5ad2e00179ea7026c496a35b00550da15 commit 82bc33d5ad2e00179ea7026c496a35b00550da15 Author: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-04-25 20:26:36 +0000 Commit: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-04-25 20:26:36 +0000 printf(9): clarify the description of %b The bit values are numbers given in octal representation, not decimal, as one might assume from the description. Same goes for the base, although this has an example.
