>Description:
Another typo. This time in ctime.3 man page.. I realise this is in 'contrib' but there doesn't seem to be any info regarding who this is pulled from.
I hope I don't get the reputation for most anal contributor :-(
(Is a PR the best way to report something so insignificant? Seems like overkill... Gimme doc commit access!)
Anyway.... The word 'leaves' instead of 'leave' in the following line:
"-these functions leaves their result in an internal static object and return"
cheers, Jamie
