And the deep rationale why I would like to avoid having the star in a different font is that it could be confused with the glob-like expressions that we use for example to refer to SYS_* macros.That makes sense. I think instead of adopting glob syntax, I would use quotation, but quotation in man(7) is so awkward that many people act like it's unavailable. This is just one of many reasons I think man(7) should have a `Q` macro to facilitate it.
What do you mean by quotation? How would you transform the following (taken from clone(2)):
#include <sys/syscall.h> /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
Did I dodge the bullet?I think so. :)
:) Cheers, Alex
