Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-18
Severity: minor
Hi,
The manpage of more claims:
-num This option specifies an integer which is the screen size (in
lines).
The usage claims:
usage: more [-dflpcsu] [+linenum | +/pattern] name1 name2 ...
I got complaints from users about "-num <n>" not working and finally
discovered that -num should be -<num> with <num> replaced with the
number of lines.
I think the manpage should get clarified about this. Having this broken
description at the very top of the manpage is not good.
The usage does not seem to include -num at all, it should be fixed too.
Thanks,
Brice Goglin
