Bug#353186: 'man oggenc' typos: four missing "-o" switches in examples

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.1.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch


Found some bad examples in '/usr/share/man/man1/oggenc.1.gz', see attached '.diff'.

Details:

    % man oggenc | grep -n " -b 256 out.ogg"
    270:              oggenc infile.wav -b 256 out.ogg

    # now run that code
    % oggenc infile.wav -b 256 out.ogg
    Opening with wav module: WAV file reader
    Encoding "infile.wav" to
             "infile.ogg"
    {etc...}
    Done encoding file "infile.ogg"
    {etc...}
    ERROR: Cannot open input file "out.ogg": No such file or directory

...here the output is "infile.ogg", and the intended output file is
mistaken for nonexistant input.

This bug caused, (using one of those examples caused), a copy
of an .ogg file I wanted to keep to be overwritten with a downsampled
version.  That is, users can lose data, hence the 'important'
severity.  (Not me though, I had a backup.)


Hope this helps...
