The branch stable/13 has been updated by mhorne: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=fd9ce8745f643e718014ca301e63c07bad1595d9 commit fd9ce8745f643e718014ca301e63c07bad1595d9 Author: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-04-25 20:26:36 +0000 Commit: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-06-09 18:14:58 +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.
