man pages are not formatted properly #3

Open kevinboone opened 7 years ago

kevinboone commented 7 years ago

man pages are not formatted properly by groff -- there are a bunch of terminal codes in the page. I don't think the problem is with groff itself, because I tested that it can format man page text correctly on the command line. Rather, I think the problem is in the way that busybox man.c formats man pages

Noticed similar problem with git log. Maybe a terminal config issue...

I found that exporting GROFF_NO_SGR=1 by listing in /etc/profile takes care of this problem. I'm running kbox4 on a Samsung SM-G550T with Android 6.0.1.
