Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Me looking at the man page of curl and searching in it.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Using my standard locale, looking like this:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=POSIX
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I started "man curl | less". Then I searched for "--compressed".
* What was the outcome of this action?
Not all hits get found. For example, the example
curl --compressed https://example.com
is skipped by the search.
Reason being that the man page uses \u2010 instead of ASCII minus chars.
To be seen also by running:
[~]$ man curl | grep -c $'\u2010\u2010compressed
5
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That ASCII minus characters are used for command line options.
Of course, it could also be that "man"/"*roff" is at fault here ...
