Subject: bug#30634: 26.0; doc string of `dired-do-create-files'
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2018 10:12:18 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ca87d4-9cde-4250-a2bb-b5d22c2452f2@default> (raw)
The doc string says this, where "into-dir" is the only occurrence of
that text in the doc string:
The rest of into-dir are optional arguments.
This is incomprehensible. Yes, in the _code_ of the function there is
an internal, local variable named `into-dir', but it makes no sense to
refer to that in the doc string.
---
(The entire description of arg HOW-TO is too complicated, particularly
the "Otherwise" part. Apparently in this case HOW-TO is a function. If
that function returns a non-nil list then its car is a function of 4
args... An example or two might help.)
