| Summary | 0000676: troff file misidentified as C source | ||||
| Description | Man pages (in troff format) containing a C source are misidentified as C source. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | $ printf ".TH frexp 3 D L\n.SH E\n.SS S\n.EX\n#include <float.h>\n.EE\n" | file - /dev/stdin: C source, ASCII text Without the "#include <float.h>", the issue disappears: $ printf ".TH frexp 3 D L\n.SH E\n.SS S\n.EX\n.EE\n" | file - /dev/stdin: troff or preprocessor input, ASCII text | ||||
| Additional Information | The above file (output without the "| file -") is .TH frexp 3 D L .SH E .SS S .EX #include <float.h> .EE I've found this issue with the frexp(3) man page from the Linux man-pages. | ||||
