- I: xdtv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/xdtv.1.gz:240
- N:
- N: Manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended.
- N: '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus
- N: signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D),
- N: this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste
- N: options, nor search for them easily.
- N:
- N: '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus. If you really
- N: intend a hyphen, write it as '\(hy' to emphasise that fact. See
- N: groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and also the thread
- N: starting with
- N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481
- N: .html
- N:
- N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format,
- N: it might be possible that this tool converts dashes of any kind to
- N: groff hyphens, while the safe way of converting dashes is usually to
- N: convert them to '\-'.
- N:
- N: Because this error can occur very often we show only the first 10
- N: occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed
- N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run lintian with the
- N: -d/--debug option.

- N: have a manual page
- N:
- N: Note, that though the `man' program has the capability to check for
- N: several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs
- N: should have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate
- N: manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as
- N: xman or tkman don't support this.

- N:
- N: When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the
