Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: wishlist
The man page description of the --dereference option could more clearly state
what behavior is the default.
Rather than:
--dereference
affect the referent of each symbolic link, rather than
the symbolic link itself (this is the default)
It would be clearer to say something like:
--dereference
affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the
default), rather than the symbolic link itself
The current wording can be confusing as it could mean the affecting the
symbolic link itself is the default.
