Subject: PATCH: man pages as files, at last
Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2010 17:22:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12523.1291396936@csr.com> (raw)
I've always been too cowardly to try to get _man to complete file names
instead of page references by default, since it's not universally
supported and I'm not entirely sure how to mix them as normal
alternatives.
This is the easy way out: if there's a "/" in the name you must be
looking for a file explicitly. As it happens, I tend to use "./" in front
of manual pages I want to look at; further the man page for man here
says it treats words with a "/" specially, so this is good enough for
me.
I can't remember how many years it is since this was first requested.
It might want some _wanted stuff if anyone can remember what to put.
