Hi

Eugene, thanks. I was looking at the wrong page (sync.2).

So, the problem is that the coreutils manual pages (of which sync(1)
is one) yse rather nonstandard formatting (that is to day, no
formatting at all) for cross-referenced pages. This makes it difficult
for me to catch these hyperlinks in my scripts in a robust way, but I
will see what I can do to improve things.

Thanks,

Michael
