[PATCH] man: Escape ASCII 0x2D ('-')

Alejandro Colomar alx at kernel.org
Sun Sep 24 21:32:22 UTC 2023


When a hyphen-minus should be formatted as ASCII 0x2D, it should be
written escaped.  Otherwise, depending on the system, the output will be
a hyphen, and cannot be used straight from pasting into the command line.
