>Description:
The man page for rot13(6) is actually a link to caesar(6),
which only vaguely mentions any relationship to rot13:
"Rotated postings to USENET and some of the databases used by
the fortune(6) program are rotated by 13 characters."
>How-To-Repeat:
man rot13
>Fix:
Either give rot13 its own man page or add some language to the
caesar(6) man page that covers the issue.
