We’ve updated this in ack 3, which is nearing an alpha release. Which raises the question of how the beyondg documentation, FAQ pages should support legacy ack2 users and early ack3 adopters in parallel. Describe what is common and what is different on one Doc page? Or fork Doc2, doc3, FAQ2, Faq3 ? (Tradeoffs!) (I think it is obvious that web should have man2 and man3 pages.) (( sadly I understand a prejudice against the *nix MAN pags since so few are well written or even usable by anyone not a maintainer or regular user just looking for a twiddle, but why such a one would expect a Doc page **by the same author** would be any better IDK. That's what stackoverflow is for. 😣 Guessing since OP googled that they didn't realize the inclusive BeyondGrep.com was the home page of the Ack project and thus perpetrated by the same culprits as man ack. )) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ack users" group.
