There is no possibility to find out the case looking at the word somewhere in the page?

It would be better to have a link in order to jump faster with the mouse. If not, it is good so.

You are right. In fact, there is shown the title of the current man's page, so there is no need of a link...

No, now it was clarified. You can install it. One can see in the corner the title of the current page, so there is no need of a link.

Please install the patch.


Thank you.

Of course not.

I am on the page 1 or 2 or 8, etc, and in the bottom should be a link to page 3.

There are many pages with the same name.

What I see is that there is no more a link there. It wouldn't be better to convert to the good case?

Anyway, it is better so than with a non working link.


Thanks.

1. emacs -Q

2. man RET

Manual entry: dlopen RET

3. goto bottom right to   DLOPEN(3) and press using mouse on this link.

Resul in *Messages*:

error in process sentinel: Man-bgproc-sentinel: Can't find the 3 DLOPEN manpage
error in process sentinel: Can't find the 3 DLOPEN manpage


However man RET Manual entry: 3 dlopen RET find the entry.
