Product: man
Component: man
Summary: some man pages report a broken pipe on exit
Version: 1.5k-4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P4
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After reading some man pages, the man programme exits with an error message. Note that
this does not effect the display of the man page itself, the man page is displayed
fine. The error message occurs when you press "q" to stop reading.
Not all man pages report this error, and I cant find anything in common between the
man pages that dont report the error and the ones that do.
Here is some sample screen output:
[hamster@Beta3 beta3]$ man iptables
/usr/bin/nroff: line 158: 16436 Done PATH=$GROFF_BIN_PATH:$PATH
groff -mtty-char $T $opts ${1+"$@"}
16437 Broken pipe | $ICONV
[hamster@Beta3 beta3]$ man man
/usr/bin/nroff: line 158: 16455 Done PATH=$GROFF_BIN_PATH:$PATH
groff -mtty-char $T $opts ${1+"$@"}
16456 Broken pipe | $ICONV
[hamster@Beta3 beta3]$ man screen
/usr/bin/nroff: line 158: 16473 Done PATH=$GROFF_BIN_PATH:$PATH
