Subject: manpages: Misplaced line in man console_codes

Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:14:56 +0000

Package: manpages
Version: 2.67-1
Severity: normal


man console_codes says:

       LF (0x0A, ^J), VT (0x0B, ^K) and FF (0x0C, ^L) all give a linefeed;

       CR (0x0D, ^M) gives a carriage return;

       SO (0x0E, ^N) activates the G1 character set, and if LF/NL (new line mode) is set also
                     a carriage return;

This should surely be:

       LF (0x0A, ^J), VT (0x0B, ^K) and FF (0x0C, ^L) all give a linefeed, and if LF/NL
                      (new line mode) is set also a carriage return;

       CR (0x0D, ^M) gives a carriage return;

       SO (0x0E, ^N) activates the G1 character set

Looking at the source, it seems that the offending phrase "and if LF/NL (new line mode) is set 
also a carriage return" is a single line; my guess is that it has simply been misplaced.

Regards,  Phil.

Hello Phil,

I agree with you, and have made the change for upstream 2.75.

Cheers,

Michael
