>Description:
cut(1) says:
-f list The list specifies fields, delimited in the input by a single
tab character. Output fields are separated by a single tab
character.
The last sentence is wrong: the fields are separated by the delimiter character
(default tab, but -d can be used to change the delimiter).
>How-To-Repeat:
man cut(1)
>Fix:
SUS v3 says instead:
"Output fields shall be separated by a single occurrence of the field delimiter
character."
