Subject: [9fans] Bug of macro .L?
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:33:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070329033310.GA2922@debian> (raw)

Macro .L of man generate some strange output, like this:

.I Brdline
returns a pointer to the start of the line or
.L 0
on end-of-file or read error.

These sentences in bio(2) will generate:

Brdline returns a pointer to the start of the line or '0' '0  ' on
end-of-file or read error.

Is it a bug or something else?
