Re: [arch-general] rubbish files in krb5

These files refer to hidden configuration files that have these names. If you simply do `man .k5identity` you will understand why they exist. Greetings. El mar, 6 jul 2021 a las 14:19, Yi Zheng via arch-general (< arch-general@lists.archlinux.org>) escribió:

Thank you for your kindly reply. I got it. Do you think that 2 small gz files should not be the hidden one? I searched the dir /usr/share/man, and found that those only those 2 files are name as the hidden ones.

I'm sure that they are rubbish due to the small size......

They're not "rubbish". They are man's version of symlinks.

$ gzip -d < /usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5.gz .so man5/k5identity.5 $ gzip -d < /usr/share/man/man5/.k5login.5.gz .so man5/k5login.5

You may find *many* very small files in /usr/share/man in the range of around 30 bytes to 130 bytes, which contain these zsoelim(1) preprocessor macros that simply include a different page as is.
