Hi, attached is a patch that removes a duplicate sentence from the manpage based on a bugzilla report in Red Hat's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448705 Regards, Till

It will process the read material (without newline) with the default hash or the hash given by \-\-hash. After hashing, it will be cropped to the key size given by \-s (default 256 bits). -\fIFrom stdin\fR: Reading will continue until EOF (so using e.g. /dev/random as stdin will not work), with the trailing newline stripped. After that the read data will be hashed with the default hash or the hash given by \-\-hash and the result will be cropped to the keysize given by \-s (default 256 bits). If "plain" is used as an argument to the hash option, the input data will not be hashed. Instead it will be zero padded (if shorter than the keysize) or truncated (if longer than the keysize) and used directly as the key. +\fIFrom stdin\fR: Reading will continue until EOF (so using e.g. /dev/random as stdin will not work), with the trailing newline stripped.
