Error in getopts(1p)

Error in getopts(1p)

[Štěpán Němec]

  Hello,

there is an error at the end of the example:

  printf "Remaining arguments are: %s\n$*"

should be

  printf "Remaining arguments are: %s\n" "$*"

(cf.
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/getopts.html )

I would have sent a patch, but couldn't find the POSIX man page sources.
Are they available somewhere?

  Thanks,

  Štěpán

[PATCH] man-pages-posix-2017/man1p/getopts.1p: Fix usage of printf(1) in example

[Alejandro Colomar]

The original HTML files are correct, so this seems a bug in the
conversion.  For now, let's fix the page.

Hi, Štěpán!

You can check the source code here:
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix.git/>

It's autogenerated from the original HTML POSIX pages, so we should
fix the python script.  But here's the fix you proposed.

Thanks,

Alex
