Re: [bug-recutils] Manual Correction

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi, thanks for your report.

    In "Info: (recutils)Bash Builtins" the manual states:
    
    "The registering command for readrec would be:
    
         $ enable readrec.so readrec"
    
    The '-f' option to the 'enable' command is required for this
    operation. The correct command should be:
        
         "$ enable -f readrec.so readrec"

This was already fixed in git.
    
    Furthermore, some systems require the full path to readrec.so in
    order for this command to work.

I applied the patch below with that remark.
Thanks!
