[gentoo-user] man bash document doesn't match real life bash.

[David Harel <hareldvd@ergolight-sw.com>]

Hi,

I was surprised to find that in man bash the reference to initialization
files is wrong. The bash manual says it reads initialization files from
/etc/profile:
FILES
       /bin/bash
              The bash executable
       /etc/profile
              The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells


Where real life uses /etc/bash/bashrc
This part is taken from strace dump: strace bash -i
open("/etc/bash/bashrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3

I use bash from gentoo package:
$ equery belongs /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2 in *... ]
app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 (/usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2)

$ equery belongs /bin/bash
[ Searching for file(s) /bin/bash in *... ]
app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 (/bin/bash)
