iso_8859-2.7.gz 90: warning: can't find special character `shc'

Hi,

Oct    Dec     Hex     Char            Description
[..]
255    173     AD      <AD>\[shc]      SOFT HYPHEN

On top of groff warning:
usr/share/man/man7/iso_8859-2.7.gz 90: warning: can't find special character `shc'

While other char are ok, <AD> doesn't display anything on my computer,
\(hy may be used instead, but I understand it's not really the point of that
manpage.

Re: strtok - strings without delimiters

Anyway, I agree that the page could be clearer. I've added the following text:

Re: null terminating byte man pages

Hi Jon,

So (1) there is some inconsistency in the pages with respect to this
point, but I'm not too worried about it and (2) C programmers should
know what a terminating null byte is. Therefore, I'm not really

these pages:
