From c07b181396ca6d20b9852c448239bacc3d0baf54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pádraig Brady Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:59:05 +0000 Subject: doc: improve the echo and printf help on escapes * src/printf.c (usage): Merge strings with echo.c to aid translators. Move the description for \NNN beside the other numeric escape codes. Don't mention "character" as that suggests character conversion. * src/echo.c (usage): Likewise. Also mention the \xHH escape sequence. --- src/printf.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/printf.c') diff --git a/src/printf.c b/src/printf.c index 540d7db3f..c0badd1de 100644 --- a/src/printf.c +++ b/src/printf.c @@ -102,23 +102,21 @@ Print ARGUMENT(s) according to FORMAT, or execute according to OPTION:\n\ FORMAT controls the output as in C printf.
