Subject: bug#25603: 24.5; doc of `woman'
Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2017 09:35:13 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <08c40e84-1467-4c8e-ab21-b77860d2f7ad@default> (raw)
The doc string says this:
The directory expansions and topics are cached for
speed, but a non-nil interactive argument forces the caches to be
updated (e.g. to re-interpret the current directory).
That ("a non-nil interactive argument") is not the way Emacs talks about
the prefix argument. The doc should say that if you use a prefix
argument then the cached is updated.
Essentially, "non-nil interactive argument" should be "prefix argument".
In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
`configure --prefix=/c/usr --host=i686-pc-mingw32'
