Imagine how many people must have been unjustly accused of not RTFMing because of this bug. Maddening.
It's preposterous that we have to resort to such primitive text search methods just to find the information for command line arguments. We've had hypertext for 3 decades now; why aren't they just listed in a table of contents and then you can follow the links to the detailed descriptions? I always seek out HTML documentation whenever I can; man pages are a last resort.
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoFor me `info` is a last resort. Though usually I do `man whatever` in a browser tab rather than a console.
- fanf2 3y ago`info | less` gives you the rendered documentation on a single page without the confusing hypertext UI.
- eviks 3y agohow would hypertext help you find a flag mentioned in the text description of another flag?
