Subject: Typo in scanf
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 08:43:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EC60C9A.2030201@free.fr> (raw)
/** Sorry, sent again as mimetype plain text (1st mail rejected) **/
There is a typo in the example given under "Note" section.
Sorry I saw just now that there is a very easy way to report that by
mail... I already files the report (and details such as version used =
Ubuntu 10.04.3) here :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/891854
Typo is:
fprintf(stderr, "No matching characters\n"):
Should be instead
fprintf(stderr, "No matching characters\n");
( ';' semicolon terminates an C instruction, and not ':' colon )
I also made a suggestion (see bug report), to change the example using
the 'm' modifier as 'a' seems rather dangerous and obsolete.
This second part is just a suggestion (subject to discussion) whereas
the typo is really there and makes compiling without errors impossible.
Best regards.
