Package: dog
Version: 1.7-8
Severity: normal
Man page says:
% man dog | grep -n "\-w n"
48: -w n Print first n characters of each line (default=80)
...but it doesn't work:
# this should print "Po"
% echo "Potato" | dog -w 2 - ; echo $?
dog: 2: No such file or directory
Potato
0
Apparently 'dog' interpreted the numeric argument for '-w' as a
filename. The error code probably shouldn't be '0'.
Note that '-w' alone works for 80 columns.
Hope this helps...
