Subject: doc: optimize logic to disable SGR output in --help
X-Git-Tag: v9.10~69
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc002057b3a33d79db6ff3330783e5118b6f4479;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

doc: optimize logic to disable SGR output in --help

* src/system.h (oputs_): Simplify processing if neither
MANUAL_URL or BOLD_MAN_REFS is defined.  Also ensure
we only lookup the HELP_NO_MARKUP env var once per process.
