Subject: [9fans] a few man pages deficiencies
Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 00:17:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTim1FxYhRP3WjOVcMPPpdfYxryT=BA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

for the record...
it seems that

-- awk man page does not list the substr(s,m) function (... version
without explicit length)
-- awk man page does not mention the possible use of '&' in (g)sub() functions
-- sed man page mentions the use of '&' only in examples
-- sed man page does not mention backreferences (like \1) at all

Ruda
