Dear Assaf,
I agree that once multibyte support is added to fold(1), the man pages,
the help screen and texi manual must be updated to clearly
indicate the "-b/--bytes" only applies to \b \t \r and never to
multibyte characters.
My suggestion for man-page:
==========================
Old:
---
-b, --bytes
count bytes rather than columns
New:
---
-b, --bytes
don't treat \b, \t, and \r specially
My suggestions for info-page:
============================
Old:
---
`-b'
`--bytes'
Count bytes rather than columns, so that tabs, backspaces, and
carriage returns are each counted as taking up one column, just
like other characters.
New:
---
`-b'
`--bytes'
Don't treat \b, \t, and \r specially. Instead tabs, backspaces, and
carriage returns are each counted as taking up one column, just
like other characters.
My suggestion for --help-output
===============================
Old:
---
-b, --bytes count bytes rather than columns
New:
---
-b, --bytes don't treat \b, \t, and \r specially
Hope this helps.
Mark
