Package: manpages-posix
Version: 2013a-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
the current manpage ULIMIT(1POSIX) specifies 

SYNOPSIS
       ulimit [−f] [blocks]

but copying and pasting that into a terminal doesn't work.

Because instead of the '-' character, it oddly uses a similar unicode
thing: '−'.

This is done in multiple places within the manpage.

Luckly, the bash builtin accepts the regular '-' like every other command.
