There is a typo in the example given under "Note" section.
Sorry I saw just now that there is a very easy way to report that by mail... I already files the report (and details such as version used = Ubuntu 10.04.3) here :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/891854
Typo is:
fprintf(stderr, "No matching characters\n"):Should be instead
fprintf(stderr, "No matching characters\n");( ';' semicolon terminates an C instruction, and not ':' colon )

I also made a suggestion (see bug report), to change the example using the 'm' modifier as 'a' seems rather dangerous and obsolete.
This second part is just a suggestion (subject to discussion) whereas the typo is really there and makes compiling without errors impossible.Best regards.

Thanks Alain. Fixed!
Cheers,
Michael
