[PATCH 1/8] setarch: (man) remove a synopsis line that mistakenly mentions `arch`

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Bug existed since commit 0554182555 from seven years ago.

Also, correct the markup for --show and --pid, improve the wording,
and reduce redundancy by reshuffling the --pid option.
