Bug Description
From these man pages:
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
Excerpt:
Note also that the boolean parameters to the long form options (those
beginning with "--" and that take a "[=yes|no]" parameter) may be omit‐
ted, in which case "=yes" is implied. (e.g. --sort is equivalent to
--sort=yes). Note further that "=1" and "=on" are considered synonyms
for "=yes", and that "=0" and "=off" are considered synonyms for "=no".
Actual behavior:
donny@pacemates:~$ ctags --sort=yes /dev/null
donny@pacemates:~$ ctags --sort /dev/null
ctags: Invalid value for "sort" option
