rS362328: split(1): Add EXAMPLES section
Summary

Two changes, but I can split (hehe) them if required:

  • Add EXAMPLES covering -d, -n and -p
  • Include small explanation about the size of the chunks for the -n option

    I'm in doubt as if I need to mark the names of the files (xab, etc) somehow in the description of the example.
Test Plan
  • mandoc -Tlint clean
  • aspell happy
  • man ./split.1 renders the page properly

Thanks. The review is in "Needs review" state though. Would it be possible to accept it?

Is the space between ( and size of necessary?

Missing dot.

I am not a native speaker, but I think there is something missing from this sentence.

How about:

Split input into as many files as needed, so that each file contains at most 2 lines.

While here, I think that the description of the -l flag is not clear, but it could be solved in another patch.

Is .No needed here?

Address comments by 0mp@:

  • Remove spurioius space after parenthesis
  • Rephrase example description to make it clearer
  • Remove unnecessary .No in different places

For some reason I don't understand, I had to generate and update the diff with svn diff split/split.1 >~/split.1.diff because arc diff --update D25198 split/split.1 keeps saying: Usage Exception: There are no changes to generate a diff from!

Neither am I, but your sentences is much clearer than mine, thanks! :-)

I am not sure but I think it happens when you run arc diff from a different directory than the tree's root directory.

One last comment regarding use of Em.

Otherwise, LGTM.

split/split.1

I think I'd change Em here to Dq.

Dq is much more often used to talk about some literal strings. Also, Em looks very similarly to Ar and Pa, which tend to confuse users (or at least me).

Anyway, if it looks better with Em than with Dq, then leave Em.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jun 18 2020, 1:15 PM

I finally did it with .Dq.

Thanks for reviewing this!
