Subject: man page prompter thinks "|" is legitimate
Date: 16 Oct 2002 05:28:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y98z5r4v.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

Gentlemen, type s o r t | u n i q <escape> x m a n <return>
We are then prompted with
        Manual entry (default sort|uniq):
Why, that's ridiculous.  How could a potential man page have a | in
its name?  Can't the prompter be more intelligent in guessing what man
page we want?
