Please report such bugs upstream to the glibc developers. And in the future please use 'LANG=C <command>' to get the help in English.

Comment 2 Christopher Yeleighton 2010-11-10 08:20:23 UTC

A vendor recommendation is required for reporting bugs upstream to the glibc developers.  A separate recommendation is required for each bug reported, unless the reporter is also a maintainer.
I did not use LANG=C this time because the relevant part of the help text is in C anyway.

Comment 4 Philipp Thomas 2011-06-06 14:00:16 UTC

The documentation format of choice for glibc in libc.info. If the texinfo documentation is lacking, please report it upstream. You don't need a recommendation for that.
