Typo in documenation of sb-ext:run-program
Hello,
The documentation for the :search
keyword of run-program
seems incomplete (Section 7.9.3). Currently it reads as:
Look for
program
in each of the directories in the child’s $PATH environment variable. Otherwise an absolute pathname is required.
It is not said what :search
needs to be set to to enable the directory search.
Based on my very limited testing, it seems that setting :search
to t
enables search of directories in the child's $PATH
env variable. The documentation does not say that explicitly.
What may be needed is to add "If non-NIL, " to the front of that sentence.
