Public bug reported:
Error in popt man pages: the e-address e...@redhat.com is invalid
(probably has been for quite some time)
Omissions in popt man pages:
1) poptParseArgvString has an undocumented return int value. What does
it return and what does it mean?
2) poptGetArg recovers “leftover arguments” but its documentation fails
to make it clear that it should not be called until poptGetNextOpt has
returned -1. I ran into this with an app that used popt but knew that
it had no options to check for: after generating the context with
poptGetContext, it tried to jump directly to poptGetArg, with disastrous
results.
** Affects: popt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
