Thanks for the report. However, the man page is generated using the 'help2man' tool from the 'ls --help' output, so you may want to investigate whether these are bugs in that tool, rather than in ls. > -------------- > > I was figuring out how to write a man page, > and looked at the ls one for reference, and > noticed these. Manually writing man pages tends to be a pretty harsh way to do things. Man pages are relatively obsolete, and not required by the GNU Coding Standards. These days, it is easier to generate a man page using an automated tool that parses input from another format. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
