Description vlad902 2004-08-01 02:20:22 UTC 
The csplit man page documents the description for the '-k' option ambiguously. usr.bin/csplit/csplit.1 documents it as "Do not remove output files if an error occurs or a HUP, INT or TERM signal is recieved." POSIX states that output files are not removed in any situation, not just when an error occurs or a specific signal is caught. csplit does comply with this behavior, but it is documented unclearly.

Fix: --- csplit.diff ---
How-To-Repeat: man 1 csplit

This should be a no-brainer, but still turn it over to Tim, who should 
know best - after all, he implemented our csplit(1) utility :) 
Thanks for noticing this and letting us know.

Unassign due to lack of time.
