i just sent the exchange below to Gentoo User, |
| 2 |
but it occurs to me that there's a tiny alert for developers too. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
whence are 'man' files obtained for inclusion in Gentoo ? |
| 5 |
when/how are they updated ? can Gentoo developers add things, if needed ? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
more particularly, cd someone add a line re 'bash -x' to 'man bash' ? |
| 8 |

yes, it's remarkable: it's not listed by 'man bash'; |
| 21 |
if you seek help via 'bash --help', then 'bash -c "help set"', it is listed. |

i have it in my home-made distill'n of 'man bash', |
| 24 |
but i've no record where/when i heard re it: |
| 25 |
prob'ly on Mandrake User judging by the 'last altered' date on the file. |
