Hello,

I believe that the following man page contains an error: <www dot unix dot com>/man-page/posix/1posix/eval/

In section "EXAMPLES", the fourth line should probably be:
eval y='$'$x
rather than:
$fooeval y='$'$x

You are correct. There is a missing line break between "$foo" and "eval". However, that is not unix.com's responsibility. The forum is not the original author of the manual and the error is there in the original source; the content is being reproduced faithfully. Still, thank you for caring enough to report it.

The error has been fixed in subsequent versions (the eval man page no longer even exists as a standalone document).

Issue 6 (2004), with typo: eval
Issue 7 (2008): no typo: Shell Command Language

Regards,
Alister
