Package: manpages-posix Version: 2.16-1 Severity: wishlist
According to the Posix/SUS specifications, the utility 'type' is part of the X/Open System Interfaces option; hence it may not be present on all Posix systems: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/type.html However, this fact is not indicated anywhere in the manpage. Some options are marked in the 'NAME' section of the Posix documentation; these are preserved in the manpages. For example, "(DEVELOPMENT)" in man -s 1p yacc . However, the margin codes appear to have been removed entirely, and some optional features (such as XSI) are indicated only by a margin code. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash manpages-posix depends on no packages.
