Priority: ---

Running whatis for the single character “a” works fine:
$ whatis a
a.out(5) - format of executable binary files
But running whatis with a single dot returns random results. It includes
“a.out”, but many manpages which don’t have a ‘.’ in the name
$ whatis . | head -8
whatis .|head -8
