[PATCH 28/34] doc txt & -h consistency: use "[<label>...]" for "zero or more"

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

 



Correct uses of "<label>..." where we really meant to say
"[<label>...]", i.e. the command in question taken an optional set of
"<label>". As the CodingGuidelines notes "[o]ptional parts [should be]
enclosed in square brackets".
