>Description:
The dig(1) man page has some wrong nroff/troff requests.
This is not a NetBSD-related problem, it happens in other
operating systems (e. g., Linux Slackware) too. This is
the wrong section in the man page:
[...]
it. As an option, the user may set the environment variable
LOCALRES to name a file which is to be used instead of
/etc/resolv.conf standard resolver (LOCALRESis specific to
the dig resolver and is not referenced by the). [...]
Once fixed, it looks:
[...]
which use it. As an option, the user may set the environment
variable LOCALRES to name a file which is to be used instead
of /etc/resolv.conf (LOCALRES is specific to the dig resolver
and is not referenced by the standard resolver). [...]
>How-To-Repeat:

$ nroff -man /usr/share/man/man1/dig.1 | more
