Description Sean Stangl 2007-06-20 04:58:45 UTC
The manpage for the program "ps" (/usr/share/man/man1/ps.1.gz) is formatted
incorrectly: there is no indentation as is typical of a manpage, making for
rather difficult reading.

----------

NAME
ps - report a snapshot of the current processes.

SYNOPSIS
ps [options]

-----------
should be:

Name
       ps ps - report a snapshot of the current processes.

SYNOPSIS
       ps [options]

The weird formatting seems to be there because the format specifiers "table"
wouldn't fit well in a standard 80-cols terminal.

I've re-formatted the manpage so only the table is not indented and the rest has
the standard look.  It's going to be in the next release.
