bash documentation error
Dear Bug-Bash: I found an error in your online bash documentation at [1]http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html In the [2]Conditional = Constructions (§3.2.4.2) section under the “case” command , the second paragraph start= s out: Each clau= se must be terminated with ‘;;’, ‘,& ’, or ‘;;&�= ��. That middle option, ‘,&’, should be: ‘;&[DEL: ’ :DEL] , i.e., a sem= icolon rather than a comma. Sincerely, Kenneth Nel= lis References 1. 3D"http://www.gn=/ 2. 3D"http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash
