[PATCH v2] Documentation: reboot-mode: add note about /env/bmode

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

 



This directory is an optional part of the defaultenv-2 and
is documented there. There should be a sentence about it in
the reboot-mode docs as well, because users can add it to
their environments as well to avoid doing if-else chains
in the init scripts.
