A simple patch for this issue is trivial - just rectify that only some conversion specifiers ask for the next arguments, for example: By default, the arguments are used in the order given, where each '*' and each conversion specifier (except for some) asks for the next argument (and it is an error if insufficiently many arguments are given). A patch which would keep the current sentence's precision would have to list the exceptions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
