           Summary: [PATCH] manual: Document %m instead of %a for
                    formatted input, note POSIX.1-2008

           Version: unspecified

manual: Document %m instead of %a for formatted input, note POSIX.1-2008

I could not get mail through to the libc-alpha list (was subscribed, tried
"global-allow-subscribe-...", kept getting "Sorry, I've been told to reject
your posts.") so I'm submitting this patch here.

I suppose %m would benefit from more documentation than this but simply
documenting it in place of %a already seems to be an improvement standards wise
as it's not only GNU, but POSIX as well.

Sorry for previous message I got number for second patch.

This one needs bit more work, a %m is posix modifer so we could omit gnu
extension. Also at end we should mention %a modifier as gnu extension.
