Subject: getstr.3ncurses: Some remarks and a patch with editorial changes for this man page

Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2025 11:56:34 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ncurses-doc
Version: 6.5+20250216-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

   * What led up to the situation?

     Checking for defects with a new version

test-[g|n]roff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -rF0 -rHY=0 -rCHECKSTYLE=10 -ww -z < "man page"

  [Use 

grep -n -e ' $' -e '\\~$' -e ' \\f.$' -e ' \\"$' <file>

  to find (most) trailing spaces.]

  ["test-groff" is a script in the repository for "groff"; is not shipped]
(local copy and "troff" slightly changed by me).

  [The fate of "test-nroff" was decided in groff bug #55941.]

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Output from "test-groff  -mandoc -t -K utf8 -rF0 -rHY=0 -rCHECKSTYLE=10 -ww -z ":

troff:<stdin>:304: warning: trailing space in the line
troff:<stdin>:305: warning: trailing space in the line
troff:<stdin>:359: warning: trailing space in the line
troff:<stdin>:508: warning: trailing space in the line
troff:<stdin>:509: warning: trailing space in the line

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     No output (no warnings).

-.-
