2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i386-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 15
Release Status: release
Description:
The man page states, for the "-c" option:
-c string If the -c option is present, then commands are read from
string. If there are arguments after the string, they are
assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0.
I think the phrase "arguments after the string" is confusing in that the
"arguments" here are really still within "the string", not after.
Repeat-By:
$ man bash
Fix:
I'd suggest slightly different wording, such as:
"... If argments follow the respective commands within the string, they are..."
