bad-whatis-entry
A manual page should start with a NAME
section, which
lists the program name and a brief description. The NAME
section is used to generate a database that can be queried by commands
like apropos
and whatis
. You are seeing this tag
because lexgrog
was unable to parse the NAME
section.
Manual pages for multiple programs, functions, or files should list each
separated by a comma and a space, followed by -
and a common
description.
Listed items may not contain any spaces. A manual page for a two-level
command such as fs listacl
must look like fs_listacl
so the list is read correctly.
