From: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> For example modinfo -F requires the field name, although the documentation was missing the "field". Similarly modprobe has omissions, so let's fix those as well. Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> --- There are two different styles across the man pages: -s, --short foo -s foo, --short foo A proposal to resolve these comes with a later patch in this series. --- man/depmod.8.scd | 2 +- man/modinfo.8.scd | 4 ++-- man/modprobe.8.scd | 6 +++--- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/depmod.8.scd b/man/depmod.8.scd index 80cc48d..7a2e84b 100644 --- a/man/depmod.8.scd +++ b/man/depmod.8.scd @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ rather than the current kernel version (as returned by *uname -r*). assumption can break especially when additionally updated third party drivers are not correctly installed or were built incorrectly. -*-E*, *--symvers* +*-E*, *--symvers* _Module.symvers_ When combined with the *-e* option, this reports any symbol versions supplied by modules that do not match with the symbol versions provided by the kernel in its _Module.symvers_.
