When examing first all those config possibilities I fell over some
format which I could not understand. It is not important for survival
but I just like to understand everything, so if someone could light
my brain it would be great.
For example: the index format uses %-15.15L
And I found out that these 15.15 is working like the C printf.
So I tried to find some info which explains what C printf is.
The only thing I found was some complicated mathematics about this
being a format of telling how a printer is going to bring that to
paper when digging somewhere in the groff pages. But this may not be
related.
I am using a standard 25x80 console screen and tried some other values
just to check whether I see something to make a rule of, but nothing.
So, how does <value1>.<value2> affect the format? And what does the
"-" sign do?
