Bug ID: 24777
Summary: Documentation: size utility not well described in man
page NAME section
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: pwbugreports at gmx dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The NAME section in the size(1) man page reads as follows:
size - list section sizes and total size.
But this description assumes the knowledge that size operates on object or
archive files, making it unnecessarily difficult to discover size using
apropos(1).
The full stop/period at the end of the line is also unconventional.
It would be more useful if it read:
size - list section sizes and total size of object or archive files
