Hi, i am not sure is it a typo, but shouldn't be ellipsis after OPTION in
cat synopsis* https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cat-invocation
<https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cat-invocation> ?*
I asked before on (
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/796402/should-my-cat-utility-support-multiple-keys-simultaneously#
)
and they say :
* "The synopsis in the GNU manual feels like an oversight — the man page
synopsis comes from GNU cat’s --help option, maintained by the same people,
and most other commands in the GNU coreutils manual (tac etc.) do include
an ellipsis. – *

* ". *
So is it a type or not?
