Hello,
Somewhat related to previous discussion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2014-11/msg00026.html
With the new gawk manual pages (gawk 4.1.1), some issues with the man pages.
Now sure if I'm doing something wrong, or is it a 'man' bug,
or is there a way to fix it.
On Mac OS X:
===
$ man --help | head
man, version 1.6c
usage: man [-adfhktwW] [section] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]
[-m system] [-p string] name ...
$ man -k fnmatch
fnmatch(3am) - compare a string against a filename wildcard
fnmatch(3) - test whether a filename or pathname matches a
shell-style pattern
## But all these show the GAWK fnmatch:
$ man fnmatch
$ man 3 fnmatch
$ man 3am fnmatch
===
Where as on Debian 7, "man -k" does't list the files from
"/usr/local/share/man" despite being able to display them:
===
$ man --version
2.6.2
$ man -k fnmatch
fnmatch (3) - match filename or pathname
$ man -k filefuncs
filefuncs: nothing appropriate.
# This shows libc's fnmatch(a)
$ man 3 fnmatch
# This shows gawk's fnmatch
$ man 3am fnmatch
# This shows gawk's filefuncs
$ man filefuncs
===
Any tips on how to fix these ?
Thanks!
