[screen-devel] questions about documentation, a word, and spelling

[René Genz]

Hi,

I have some questions. The answers will be helpful for patches I am preparing. 
Thank you for your input in advance.

There are differences in `man screen` and `info screen` for sections that could 
be the same, f.i. defwritelock and addacl. At the moment they use different 
wording. Which description should be used/merged/modified?



What does "pation" mean in the file src/canvas.c? Is this a spelling mistake?



I am not a native speaker. What are your thoughts about the following changes? 
Should I include them or not? If both spellings are used, which should I use?
a)
backend
-- (only upper word is used)
back end

b)
filedescriptor
-- (both are used)
file descriptor

c)
frontend
-- (only upper word is used)
front end

d)
canvaslist
-- (both are used)
canvas list

e)
windowlist
-- (both are used)
window list

f)
filesystem
-- (both are used)
file system

g)
filepointer
-- (both are used)
file pointer

h)
multiplexor
-- (both are used)
multiplexer

i)
MegaBytes
-- (only upper is used)
Mebibytes

j)
bufferpointer
-- (only upper is used)
buffer pointer
-- 
Kind regards,
René
