Sun's documentation is derived from Berkeley's, and both are not just
misleading, but *wrong*.  There is no space between *any* of the tokens.  There
is a *newline* after each of the arguments to the command (or after the
command, if it takes no arguments), and there is no space between the command
and its first operand.
