this is the format from 8l/list.c:/^Pconv

			snprint(str, sizeof(str), "(%ld)	%A	%D,%D",
				p->line, p->as, &p->from, &p->to);

it looks like memccpy is defined twice in the same .8.
i'd look for the symbol rather than the line number.

the format of the line number doesn't fit the plumbable
convention, which would be file:line, and also appears to
not be the line number you are expecting.  it's
the line number after include files are processed.  which
while not wrong, is not helpful either.
