It may sometimes linger when importing third-party software into base, but even then, it is often deleted. > I'm not certain I understand why they're passing /dev/null as > a tagsfile. Maybe to test if any -T <tagsfile> throws any error? Exactly, that's what i wrote the HAVE_LESS_T test in mandoc-portable for: to test whether less(1) has (support for) -T. > (I also don't actually understand the redirection to file > descriptor 3. Cluebats welcome, on- or off-list.) $ sed -n /Output/,/3:/p configure # Output file descriptor usage: # 1 (stdout): config.h, Makefile.local # 2 (stderr): original stderr, usually to the console # 3: config.log Anyway, i committed the patch to OpenBSD, thanks to all who provided feedback. No need to discuss mandoc-portable on tech@ any further. Yours, Ingo
