[Bug documentation/3094] New: incorrect usage of '-' in manpages

[eugen at debian dot org]

Symbol '-' is sometimes incorrectly used in systemtap manpages to represent
minus sign. groff translates that symbol to hyphen (‐, U+2010) if UTF-8 locale
is used, that symbol may look identical to minus, but it will cause problems if
someone copies text from manpages to script or command-line. One should use '\-'
to represent minus sign in manpages.
