issues in man page #158

Dear irqtop maintainer, the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of man pages both from a large variety of sources (including irqtop) as well for a large variety of target languages.

During their work translators notice different possible issues in the original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original.

We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check each and every issue.

Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format, i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man, groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into your source format.

Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify them.

I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should use another channel, please let me know.

Man page: irqtop.1 Issue: irqtop → B

"The irqtop command is part of the util-linux package and is available from " "E<.UR https://\\:www.kernel.org\\:/pub\\:/linux\\:/utils\\:/util-linux/> " "Linux Kernel Archive E<.UE .>"

Man page: irqtop.1 Issue: ethtool → B(8)

"show extra eth stats (from ethtool)"

It's hard to understand what you are reporting! But, you probably misreporting. irqtop from util-linux should be reported there. irqtop man page from Debian (which is describing my tool) is authored by Axel Beckert abe@debian.org. @xtaran can you look at this?

Apologies, I did not notice that the man page was a Debian patch. Should I report this to Debian?
