[PATCH] docs/bpf: Fix most/least significant bit typos

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

 



The LSB and MSB acronyms should not be followed by the word "bits". This
fixes this issue and uses the full phrases "most/least significant bits"
for better readibility.
