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'
