How about "for the controller to be ready"?
Also, please break lines after period (per "semantic newlines"
guidelines in man-pages(7)).
$ MANWIDTH=72 man man-pages | sed -n '/Use semantic newlines/,/^$/p'
Use semantic newlines
In the source of a manual page, new sentences should be started
on new lines, long sentences should be split into lines at
clause breaks (commas, semicolons, colons, and so on), and long
clauses should be split at phrase boundaries. This convention,
sometimes known as "semantic newlines", makes it easier to see
the effect of patches, which often operate at the level of in‐
dividual sentences, clauses, or phrases.
Regarding ranges, please say 0 or [30, 1800], to use standard syntax.
Thanks,
Alex
