https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D283617 Bug ID: 283617 Summary: awk(1): fix description of the getline function Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: naddy@FreeBSD.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 256138 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D256138&action= =3Dedit awk(1): fix description of the getline function In awk.1, the description of the various forms of the getline function is confused. _The AWK Programming Language_, second edition, sums it up in this table (p. 204): TABLE A-10. GETLINE FUNCTION =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Expression | Sets ------------------+---------------- getline | $0, NF, NR, FNR getline var | var, NR, FNR getline <file | $0, NF getline var <file | var cmd | getline | $0, NF cmd | getline var | var ------------------+---------------- Here's a minimal diff to rectify the description. I already committed the same change on OpenBSD: https://codeberg.org/OpenBSD/src/commit/52752bf43baeb94ac1e2ae081589f8ecc12= 4cdf0 --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
