[-U name]... file...</pre></blockquote>with no square brackets around "file..." that would indicate it is optional.
However, the description of the file operand and the STDIN section both state that if no file operand is given, the standard input is used. Desired Action: Change:<blockquote><pre><i>file</i>...</pre></blockquote>to:<blockquote><pre><b>[</b><i>file</i>...<b>]</b></pre></blockquote> ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare New Issue 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Section => m4 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Page Number => 2933 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Line Number => 97034 2023-05-18 09:43 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
