Thread: Broken code in recent troff commit

print.c line 1009:
                fputs("\(rs", fout);

is sufficiently obviously wrong that even my ancient HPUX C compiler is
unhappy.  I don't know troff, though, so I don't know if "\\(rs" was
meant or something else.

            regards, tom lane

Yea, fixed.  \(rs is reverse slash.

Sorry about that.  I'm not sure why GCC didn't pick that up.  Troff
uses "\(rs" to produce a backslash ("Right Slash"), so "\\(rs" will be
correct.  I've double checked the rest of the diff, and that's the
only instance of a missing '\'.
