<Speed> should be of type *int*

In the Commands PDF under Outputs (Motoren) and help, it says that the parameter "<Speed>" is a char between 0 to 100...
This should be int instead...
Even though the commands PDF is likely in need of an update, the Speed parameter being a char is actually intended. In C, most of the datatypes like int or short are defined to have various sizes depending on the system, architecture and compiler. char is the exception, as it is defined to be always exactly one byte. Since char does not need to necessarily contain an actual ASCII character, it is therefore often used to express a one byte number. If you look into the ev3_output.h, you will find that the current updated version has the speed variables defined as uint8_t which is just a typedef to unsigned char. In any case, since the required data has to be excatly one byte, int is not the right choice here.
Still it might useful to update the commands.pdf
It should probably be int8_t.
Apparently, you can use Libreoffice Draw to edit the PDF. If you want to change it, shoot a pull request.
