[PATCH] virsh: improve send-key documentation

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

 



The 'virsh man' description of send-key was incomplete and used the
old style (literal 'optional name' instead of '[name]' metasyntax).
Meanwhile, none of the other virsh help texts include examples, so
I moved it out of virsh help and into the man page.

* tools/virsh.pod (send-key): Give better details.
* tools/virsh.c (info_send_key): Drop example from here.
