Does anyone use checknr(1)?



Hi,

I found /usr/bin/checknr and tried it:

$ checknr /usr/share/man/man1/*.1

It spit out an enormous amount of error messages and crashed on 68 of
the files. Its source code hasn't essentially been modified for 18
years, and the code still contains several out-of-bounds memory
accesses, after some half-hearted attempts to fix them.

Does anyone use this tool? Is it worth keeping?

If it's worth keeping it, I could invest some time in making it
bullet-proof, but I don't want to waste time like I did for indent(1).

Roland
