Description anton.jelkin 2016-11-15 10:43:48 UTC
There is a --push-state section which ends with an odd sentence:

"Undoes the effect of --push-state, restores the previous values of the flags governing input file handling."

It looks like a description for --pop-state. Probably, this should be in a separate section named --pop-state?

Hi Anton,

  Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry for taking so long to fix it.

  The problem was simple - a missing "@item --pop-state" line in the 
  documentation.  I have checked in a patch to fix this.

Cheers
  Nick
