Hi, I was wondering for a while now why I could not grep man pages anymore, like 'man ftp|grep netrc', which was working a couple of OI versions before. Today I really got curious and found these weird constructions in the man page output 'man ftp|od -tc'
0121460 \b ~ / \b / . \b . n \b n e \b e t \b 0121500 t r \b r c \b c \n \n A \b A T \b T T That means: most of the characters are backspaced and written again ! Checked a couple of man pages, most of them have these useless sequences in them, so grepping man pages is mostly impossible now. Is this really intended, or produces some document tool this garbage in the process of man page generation ? -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology & Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026
