Description

Hi,

I just noticed that when using cppman with vim/nvim as pager
and when using https://github.com/bogado/file-line as a plugin (it opens a file on a line if the filename is formatted as /file/name.ext:<line_nr>)
then the resulting vim/nvim buffer is empty.

I tend to use https://github.com/gauteh/vim-cppman which doesn't have an issue with this.
Just to let you know, maybe there is an easy workaround or something.

Research direction

Start by reproducing cppman with vim/nvim configured as the pager and the bogado/file-line plugin enabled. Compare the resulting empty buffer with the behavior of gauteh/vim-cppman; done means the cppman output opens as visible manual-page content without breaking file-line.
