            Bug ID: 199644
           Summary: getopt_long(3) manpage has unclear example
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: patrick at gentoo.org

Minor cosmetic detail - 

getopt_long(3) manpage says:
(see for example
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getopt_long&apropos=0&sektion=3&manpath=FreeBSD+11-current&arch=default&format=html
)


"The last element of the longopts array has to be filled with zeroes."

and the example just below is written as:

"{ NULL,         0,                 NULL,         0 }"


While this accidentally works out it is confusing to read. The manpage of GNU
getopt_long shows "{ 0, 0, 0, 0 }" for this example, which matches the text a
lot better.
