Hi Branden,

(B) I see a deviation from the GNU Coding Standards for diagnostic
     messages; we don't need a space after "troff:" when it's followed
     by a file name.

It seems much of the word doesn't comply

     $ sed -f /etc/passwd
     sed: file /etc/passwd line 3: extra characters after command
     $
     $ awk -f /etc/passwd |& 3q
     awk: /etc/passwd:1: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
     awk: /etc/passwd:1:     ^ syntax error
     awk: /etc/passwd:2: bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/usr/bin/nologin
     $ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/awk
     /usr/bin/awk is owned by gawk 4.2.1-2
     $
     $ perl /etc/passwd |& 3q
     syntax error at /etc/passwd line 1, near "0:"
     Unknown regexp modifier "/b" at /etc/passwd line 1, at end of line
     Unknown regexp modifier "/b" at /etc/passwd line 1, at end of line
     $


Also, I'd keep the space, even if only for being able to use standard tools like perror(3), or common tools like the <err.h> functions.

Cheers,

Alex
