Fixed Release: None
Summary: Errors in find(1) manpage. And unescaped dashes.
Original Submission: The find manpage in 4.2.8 is buggy:
-----------
address@hidden:/tmp$ LC_ALL=en_US man find > /dev/null
Reformatting find(1), please wait...
/tmp/zmanCbwxIn:845: a space character is not allowed in an escape name
/tmp/zmanCbwxIn:845: warning: can't find special character `'
/tmp/zmanCbwxIn:846: a space character is not allowed in an escape name
--------------
The corresponding lines are:
.B find / ( -perm +4000 -fprintf /root/suid.txt '%#m %u %pen' ) , e
.B ( -size +100M -fprintf /root/big.txt '%-10s %pen' )
Additionally the manpage contains multiple unescaped dashes, "-" which will be
rendered as n-dash instead of "-" in UTF-8 locales, therefore breaking not only
cut and paste but much worse also searching. The attached patch fixes _these_.
