Package: socat
Version: 1.4.3.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
socat(1) currently suggests a space between -lf and the file name to
accept the log:
-lf <logfile>
Writes messages to <logfile> [filename] instead of stderr.
However, this fails with an error message like:
2006/06/08 11:03:47 socat[12030] E cannot open log file "": No such file or
directory
The proper way to specify this is -lf<logfile> (no intervening space).
Here is a patch to fix the man page:
--- socat.1.orig 2006-06-08 11:00:34.000000000 -0400
+++ socat.1 2006-06-08 11:00:21.000000000 -0400

Thanks for maintaining socat for debian!
