Yes :) but execve(2) returns ENOEXEC:

If you use a more robust shell :-), you don't have to
resort to using strace:
$ touch true; chmod a+x

Guessing which lines are continuations and which are new lines is
darned tricky, and the rules help2man uses are intended to deal
with the majority of cases.
I don't know how help2man does this in detail, but wouldn't it work
just to see if the next line as a option (either, -s or

As you have seem from the small dicussion, that even your 3.2k is
