Ok, this has been an on-going annoyance, so naturally I thought to bring it here.
In the tcsh man page the phrase q.v. is used, and I have no clue why those four characters are inserted.
Is it self referential ? a technical reference ? a documentation or language convention ?
Here are some examples in context.
(+) Variables may be made read-only with `set -r' (q.v.)
Users who need to use the
same set of files with both csh(1) and tcsh can have only a ~/.cshrc
which checks for the existence of the tcsh shell variable (q.v.)
end-of-file (not bound)
Signals an end of file, causing the shell to exit unless the
ignoreeof shell variable (q.v.) is set to prevent this. See
also delete-char-or-list-or-eof.
