Description Chris Adams 2013-12-01 01:13:30 UTC

When trying to install a system-wide lesskey file, but it doesn't work (and doesn't give any information as to why):

# lesskey -o /etc/sysless -i /etc/sysless.src 
usage: lesskey [-o output] [input]

  -o output     - specify output file, otherwise $HOME/.less is used
  -i input      - specify input file, otherwise standard input is used
  -V            - print lesskey version
  -h            - print this help

I tried with and without the "-i".

Comment 1 Jozef Mlich 2013-12-02 10:08:58 UTC

Thanks for reporting. It seems, the lesskey command is not handling command line arguments correctly. As a workaround, please use --output parameter instead.

Note for myself: The break/goto is missing in parse_args() function, namely in less-458-lesskey-usage.patch in fedora repositories.

tested with 458-5.fc20,get the same output as Chris's ,
when run # lesskey -o /etc/sysless -i /etc/sysless.src

The "lesskey -o /etc/sysless /etc/sysless.src" format is fixed and working for me.
