[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

This is not a bug report.

I just wanted to say, it would be SO nice if you could include 3 or 45
examples in the man pages.

It would have made my life easier.
It took me a while and a Google search to get it to work.

Please write documentation for people who need documentation.
Don't write documentation for people who don't need documentation.

Thanks

Jim

The man pages are a trade-off between brevity and completeness.
The full docs have examples: http://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/tr
The next version of the man pages will link directly to the above.
Hence I'm closing this.

thanks,
Pádraig.
