Package: mksh
Version: 59c-14
Severity: normal
In the mksh(1) man page:
SYNOPSIS
mksh [-+abCefhiklmnprUuvXx] [-T [!]tty | -] [-+o option] [-c string | -s
| file [argument ...]]
[...]
-c string mksh will execute the command(s) contained in string.
This is incorrect. "-c" is not an option that takes a string argument,
but an option that takes 0 arguments: when one writes "mksh -c foo",
"foo" is an argument of mksh, not an argument of the -c option.
The difference is that one may have other options between "-c" and
the actual arguments. So
mksh -c -- "echo foo"
will execute "echo foo", not "--".
As a comparison, see the bash(1), dash(1) and ksh93(1) man pages.
