Changed the description of the rev command to say

"Prints each line of input, reversing it character by character."

 Anonymous  Aug 2001

the description for the rev command
is somewhat incorrect. It states, "Reverse the lines of a file onto
standard output. The order of characters is also reversed. ..."

In fact, the command only affects the character ordering of each line
and does not affect any other ordering(i.e. line order).
