Texinfo, unlike man, has a notion of hyperlink. In the case of man it is

In the man page for cut it says:
-b, --bytes=LIST
select only these bytes
But there is no equals sign in the actual syntax:
echo hello|cut -b 2-5

echo hello|cut -b=2-5

Is there any FTP repository that holds all the current Jessie man page
files in one location?
I have tried various scripts and wget to extract man pages from
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/ but my scripting ability lacks somewhat.

Greetings all;
debian 11.1, 64 bit net-install updated yesterday.
I've noted that there can be links to a web page in a man page that are
underscored if you click on them while reading the man page, but clicking
the link does not do anything. Is it supposed to send the default browser

Don't forget the birthday paradox. For getting a first collision you
PARTTYPE,PARTLABEL,PARTUUID,MODEL,SIZE | head -1

Ah yes, you're right. The redirected output is always the minimum
required for columnating the headings and data. It's the /screen/
output that I can't control, ie the amount of overlap employed is
always that which just fills
i get 206 bytes
per line (plus newline) printed to stdout:
$ lsblk -o
NAME,KNAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID,PARTTYPE,PARTLABEL,PARTUUID,MODEL,SIZE | head -1 |
wc -c
207
In the newest version of the man page
https://sources.debian.org/src/util-linux/2.37.2-4/misc-utils/lsblk.8/#L179
i see an option

Like I have told you many many times in this thread, the *context*
of the UUID matters.
