| OS | NetBSD | OS Version | 10.99.4 | ||
| Product Version | 5.43 | ||||
| Fixed in Version | 5.45 | ||||
| Summary | 0000452: mdoc man pages misidentified as C source | ||||
| Description | I noticed that file 5.43 (as nbfile tool in NetBSD-current) misidentifies various mdoc man pages as C source. If I use file 5.41 on macOS 13.4 on the same source tree, it misidentifies a smaller subset. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | cd src/lib/libc find . -name '*.[1-9]' | xargs path/to/file | grep -v 'troff or' | sort ./gen/ctype.3: C source, ASCII text ./gen/getdevmajor.3: C source, ASCII text ./gen/randomid.3: C source, ASCII text ./locale/nl_langinfo.3: C source, ASCII text ./net/getifaddrs.3: C source, ASCII text ./sys/dup.2: C source, ASCII text ./sys/mremap.2: C source, ASCII text ./sys/readlink.2: C source, ASCII text ./sys/select.2: C source, ASCII text ./sys/undelete.2: C source, ASCII text | ||||
| Additional Information | I discovered this whilst debugging NetBSD/src/share/man/man0 and observing different behaviour between the host file and the TOOLDIR nbfile, and realised that both were buggy, one was less buggy than the other. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

At least NetBSD 9.3 file-5.37 says $ file /usr/share/man/man3/ctype.3 /usr/share/man/man3/ctype.3: troff or preprocessor input, ASCII text |
|
|
Yes, file 5.43 seems to detect more of that list as C instead of troff, but file 5.37 will still misidentify some of that list. Using file 5.37 (NetBSD 9.0, ftp.netbsd.org), checking /usr/share/man there's a bunch of mismatches including those I listed from libc. ./man1/flex.1: C source, ASCII text ./man1/lex.1: C source, ASCII text ./man1/calendar.1: C source, ASCII text ./man1/ident.1: C source, ASCII text ./man1/makeinfo.1: HTML document, ASCII text ./man1/sqlite3.1: HTML document, ASCII text ./man2/dup2.2: C source, ASCII text ./man2/dup.2: C source, ASCII text ./man2/dup3.2: C source, ASCII text ./man2/mremap.2: C source, ASCII text ... |
