[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#417214: another db4.5_load man page typo, regarding escape sequences

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: libdb4.5
Version: 4.5.20-1
Severity: normal

The manual page says:

              A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash ( charac-
              ters are special, is applied to the text input.  Newline charac-
              ters are interpreted as record separators.  Backslash characters
              in the text will be interpreted in one of two ways: If the back-
              slash  character  precedes another backslash character, the pair
              will be interpreted as a literal backslash.   If  the  backslash
              character  precedes any other character, the two characters fol-
              lowing the backslash will be interpreted as a hexadecimal speci-
              fication  of  a  single  character; for example,  a is a newline
              character in the ASCII character set.

I think the first line should be "\" not "(".

Also, on the second to last line, if I understand it correctly, " a"
should read "\0a".

Thanks.
