Subject: symlink(7) missing {to|of} in 'pathname another file' (3.56, man7.org)
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:43:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401161.fNpqManq3C@lt> (raw)

Hello,

in section 'SYMBOLIC LINK HANDLING' of symlink(7) the first sentence of the 
third paragraph reads:
    A symbolic link is a special type of file whose contents are a string
    that is the pathname another file, the file to which the link refers.

Is there a {to|of} missing in '... pathname another file, ...'?

Found in man-pages version 3.56 at man7.org.


Thank you for your effort.


Thomas Posch
