Of course it will. And it would use the full path of the source file
because it is not absolute.
I suppose I just see it differently. Understand, the subject now is
if the man page is correct. My interpretation is that it is. The
example shown does exactly what I would expect after looking at the
man page. I'll bow out now as I'm just not seeing the significance
of not using an absolute path so that the target is *relative* to
the source.
It simply makes sense to me that the behavior shown in the examples
would be expected.
