How to report man page error?

Post by panorain »

I recently have seen a spelling error here: https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Wildcards

Three types of wildcars <---- Error

In Bash, wildcards are special characters that match multiple files. The three most common wildcards are:

Asterisk (*): Matches any number of characters, including no characters.
Question mark (?): Matches any single character.
Square brackets ([]): Matches any character enclosed in the brackets.

You can also use wildcards to list files, rename files, copy files, delete files and more.

My question for you if if I am able to report this for editing?
Edit: mistype on first "if" above, now changed to 'is' <---- surprised when I reread this post to see that I myself had created a mistype. :mrgreen:
Thanks

@SMG, thanks for helping me see this more clearly. I know I need to read more thoroughly, so I am working with this situation.
