X-Mailer: reportbug 1.50
Date: Sun, 07 Jul 2002 06:05:34 +0800
Message-Id: <E17QxgM-0000K6-00@debian>
Delivered-To: maintonly@bugs.debian.org
Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-6
Severity: minor
I suppose it's ok for iconv -l vs. iconv -l|cat to have different
behaviors, like ls, but at least the man page should say so.
But all the
ISO-8859-1//
ISO-8859-2//
ISO-8859-3//
"//" stuff looks like a bug.

Well, if so, the documentation becomes much longer and larger...
Selecting the context/content makes much easier to read.
I close this bug.
