Package: limo
Version: 0.3.2-3.1
Severity: wishlist
Love all the extra 'li' features, (especially the '-f' switch), but
if I'm not mistaken, the man page doesn't show how to output one
line per file suitable for piping.
The '-S' switch seems like it might work:
% man limo | grep -A 2 -n '\-S'
266: -S<character>
267- set the default chunk separator character (default is a
268- space)
...but either it doesn't, or I misunderstand its function:
# make chunk separator a linefeed
% li -S'
' /bin/ash /bin/bash
/bin/ash /bin/bash
I'd expected those file names to be on separate lines. If that's not
what '-S' is for, then its man page entry is unclear and should be revised
for clarity.
I found a kludge that works:
% li -W1 /bin/?sh
/bin/ash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
Possible fixes:
A) if 'limo' isn't already designed for line output:
1) Add one-per-line style to the '-p' switch.
2) Or document the above '-W1' kludge.
B) if 'limo' has (non-kludge) line output:
1) the manual should say so**, and maybe the '-h' switch
text also.
(**Did I miss it?)
Hope this helps...
