Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 07:34:22 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <381d604578159240@fantadrom.bsd.lv> (raw)
Log Message:
-----------
Correct and shorten the description of the sort order of apropos(1)
results. As a matter of fact, which manpath the page comes from
does not matter in that context. That only matters for the priority
of pages in man(1) mode (without -a, -f, and -k).
Noticed while working on a patch from Yuri Pankov <yuripv at FreeBSD>.
