I (#508743) saw
$ LC_CTYPE=C man metastore #in emacs
Written by David Hrdeman <da...@hardeman.nu>
in the shell
Written by David Heman <da...@hardeman.nu>
Ah,
$ man -w metastore|xargs zless|tail -2|uni2ascii -wa P
Written by David HU+00E4 rdeman <da...@hardeman.nu>
Only when I do
$ man metastore|grep hardeman
<standard input>:63: warning: can't find special character `u4CA4'
Written by David Heman <da...@hardeman.nu>
Do I finally see any error message.
I'm not sure if the man providers have decided to turn back error
messages on or not, but plain man won't show them, and even a
redundant
$ man metastore|less
will output them at the top whereupon they fly off the screen...
So some way is needed to show errors or else "All these years I though
he was Mr. Heman."
P.S., no matter what environment settings I use, that unicode char is not
getting through.
