POSIX says: <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_265> 3.265 Portable Filename Character Set The set of characters from which portable filenames are constructed.

See also 3.254 Pathname. Your path is thus non-portable, and this is just one of its consequences. Software tends to not support such paths, especially paths containing whitespace, control characters, quotes, dollars, and other special characters. > Actual Results > ============== > > This list is printed: > > > all > > help > > nothing > > Expected Results > ================ > > A list with over 100 Make targets is printed. 115 at the moment. :) $ make nothing -p \ | grep '^\.PHONY:' \ | tr ' ' '\n' \ | grep -v '^\.PHONY:' \ | sort \ | wc -l; 115 > Additional Information > ====================== > > I encountered this bug while using the tip of the man-pages’s master branch > (b199d102db5be24e0ac88eb6879e3e3b6e0ea722 at the moment). I would close this as WONTFIX. Sorry. If the fix was easy, I might fix it, but I suspect there are so many break points that it's impossible to fix. Just don't do that. :) Have a lovely new year!
