Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-01-29 02:51:06 UTC 
Under <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader.efi&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+13.1-STABLE#EXAMPLES> and <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader.efi&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+14.0-CURRENT#EXAMPLES>: 

	   # cp	/boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi


The result of the example: 

root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # cp
cp             cpanel_json_xs cpp12          cpufetch       
cpack          cpio           cpp2html       cpuid_tool     
cpaldjvu       cpp            cpu-x          cpupdate       
cpan           cpp10          cpucontrol     cpuset         
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # cp/boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi


----

Without the offending tab: 

	   # cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi

I can't reproduce this, it is working out of the box, when coping it from the web page to the terminal and when selecting the man page output from within the terminal.

What kind of terminal do you use?
Comment 2 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-01-29 13:08:09 UTC 
Initially, I copied from Firefox. 

The same problem (a tab character) is found with both pages when copying from Falkon. 

The tab is visible when pasting to e.g. Code - OSS.

Konsole, csh. 

With sh, the effect is different: 

root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # mount | grep boot
/dev/ada0p1 on /boot/efi (msdosfs, local)
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # sh
# cp/boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
sh: cp/boot/loader.efi: not found
