Package: libbobcat1
Version: 1.17.1-1
Severity: normal
File: bobcat
The current getopt(3) function manual page shows a different `return value'
section than peviously published getopt(3) man-pages. In particular it shows:
... If getopt() encounters an option with a missing argument, then the
return value depends on the first charac- ter in optstring: if it is ':',
then ':' is returned; otherwise '?' is returned.
Bobcat 1.17.1 is based on the `old' manpage info (and will therefore
erroneously report an undefined option character where it should report a
missing option value), the upcoming new version (1.17.2) will implement a
check for the first character of the option string, making sure that the
initial character of the option string is always a ':'.
