New: erroneous example in "rename" man page
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52341
Summary: erroneous example in "rename" man page
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
ReportedBy: slave2bob-/[email protected]
Regression: No
util-linux-2.22.2/misc-utils/rename.1 includes the text:
.SH EXAMPLES
Given the files
.IR foo1 ", ..., " foo9 ", " foo10 ", ..., " foo278 , the commands
.RS
.PP
.nf
rename foo foo0 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??
.fi
.PP
.RE
will turn them into
.IR foo001 ", ..., " foo009 ", " foo010 ", ..., " foo278 .
This is not what those two commands will actually do. To produce
the described result, the first command, instead of:
rename foo foo0 foo?
should be:
rename foo foo00 foo?

--- Comment #2 from Wendy <slave2bob-/[email protected]> 2013-01-12 02:33:47 --- Thanks for the link. The man page in question says, near the end, "The rename command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/."
If this Bugzilla is not the correct place to report bugs on packages distributed by kernel.org, can you please point me to the place that is?
