Description of problem: The Japanese tail(1) man page still includes a description for the obsolete '+N' option to start tail'ing the file on line N. Older versions of tail allowed you to run tail +5 file.txt to start reading file.txt on line 5. This is ambiguous and obsolete and has been replaced with the -n option: tail -n +5 file.txt The English man page has a section describing how this is obsolete: '_POSIX2_VERSION' COMPATIBILITY ISSUES: On older systems, the leading '-' can be replaced by '+' in the obso- lete option syntax with the same meaning as in counts, and obsolete usage overrides normal usage when the two conflict. ... However, the Japanese man page indicates this is still valid: 書式 tail [<-|+>COUNTOPTIONS] ... ... オプション <-|+>COUNTOPTIONS このオプションは最初に指定した場合に限って認識される。 COUNT は 10 進数の数値。単位を表す文字 (‘b’, ‘k’, ‘m’) を後置したり (それ ぞれの意味は ‘-c’ のものと同じ)、行単位のカウントを指定する ‘l’ を 後置したり、他のオプション文字 (‘cqv’) を後置したりできる。何 も文字が後置されなかった場合は ‘l’ が指定されたのと同じことに な る。短いオプション形式 - と + は推奨されない。 Please update the Japanese tail(1) man page to indicate the '+N' syntax is obsolete. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-ja-20060815-11.el5.noarch How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 2. man 1 tail Actual results: man page indicates 'tail +N' is valid syntax Expected results: should instead describe 'tail -n +N' Additional info:
