Package: file Version: 4.20-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hello,
The file.1 manpage used the .In macro, which only support one argument (i.e. no punctuation), and should be used only in a SYNOPSIS section (it introduces a line break). Using .In with a punctuation results in missing word and a warning when the man page is displayed. I propose to to use a .Pa (Path) instead of .In Kind Regards, -- Nekral
