--- Comment #9 from Erwin Waterlander <waterlan@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Hi,

About this warning:
W: no-manual-page-for-binary wcd.exe.

The manual name is 'wcd'.

The binary name is 'wcd.exe' to make the distinction with the required alias or
function named 'wcd'. Wcd can only function when it is called via an alias or
function. Many people in the past have tried to run the binary directly, but
this does not work. The alias (for csh) and the function (for bash) are defined
in the config files.

If you want I can change the .exe suffix into something else (some people are
allergic to anything that reminds them of DOS). Eg Debian uses .exec.

On Debian the binary is installed under /usr/libexec/, because the packager
says you don't execute the binary directly. This is debatable. /usr/libexec is
for programs called by programs/scripts, and I don't call an alias a program. 

best regards,

Erwin
