I think it's fine if manpages are long, as long as they follow the section conventions. Typically, OPTIONS is long, and then you jump to EXAMPLES for common patterns or grep through the rest for specific patterns. It's not like you're supposed to read the entire thing, and particularly not the OPTIONS part. :) >> Was that introduced only in bullseye? > > The --skip option was introduced in version 0.7.0 and --skip=check/empty > exists > since that version as well. Bullseye will ship with 0.7.5, so yes. I see, that's why i missed it. So I guess this is fixed. A. -- Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty.
