From c85b8f8ecd23039aa9794098735f896c2c56346f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph HERLANT Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 18:56:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Correcting not escaped minus signs in manpage. Extract of the explanations why we need a change for this: By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian groff package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due to the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be removed. "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. --- man/cmph.1 | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/cmph.1 b/man/cmph.1 index cdc717a..d7b188a 100644 --- a/man/cmph.1 +++ b/man/cmph.1 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ cmph \- minimum perfect hashing tool .SH SYNOPSIS .B cmph -[-v] [-h] [-V] [-k nkeys] [-f hash_function] [-g [-c value][-s seed] ] [-a algorithm] [-M memory_in_MB] [-b BRZ_parameter] [-d tmp_dir] [-m file.mph] keysfile +[\-v] [\-h] [\-V] [\-k nkeys] [\-f hash_function] [\-g [\-c value][\-s seed] ] [\-a algorithm] [\-M memory_in_MB] [\-b BRZ_parameter] [\-d tmp_dir] [\-m file.mph] keysfile .SH DESCRIPTION .PP Command line tool to generate and query minimal perfect hash functions. @@ -56,11 +56,11 @@ $ # Using the default algorithm (chm) for constructing a mphf .br $ # for keys in file keys_file.
