Bug#547622: bsdmainutils: Please document which sort LC_COLLATE locale is expected by "look -b"

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <change@nas.com>]

Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 6.1.11
Severity: normal


Thanks for maintaining Debian's bsdmainutils
package.

It has some good commands that have stood the test
of time.

Please document specifically how "look -b" expects
its input to be sorted.

For example, the MacOSX man page for look at

    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/look.1.html

says

    "Input files must be sorted with LC_COLLATE
    set to `C'."

Thanks,
Kingsley
