The patch looks quite OK to me. Thanks for taking care of this :-) [For Debian's BTS and coreutils' maintainer] Maybe this bug should be reassigned to bash so that this documentation improvement is done in its info/manpage too. BTW, I believe the patch provided also fixes #230957 BTW. Regards Javier
