A few minor comments, and then the patch can go in: > +For example, suppose an executable references the file > +@samp{/usr/src/foo-1.0/lib/foo.c}, and our source path is First, file names should have the @file markup, not the @samp markup. > The subdirectories of source path directories or > +parts of the source pathname are not looked up. Please say "source file name", not "source pathname". The GNU project documentation does not use the term ``pathname''. Also, this specific sentence is not very clear; perhaps an example using the file names and the source path from your example would help understand it better. > Plain filenames, > +relative pathnames, pathnames with dots, etc. are all treated as > +described above. Please add a ``@:'' after ``etc.'', so that TeX would not typeset that as an end of a sentence.
