[PATCH] mount: Change the '^.' no-break control character to help avoid accidental use.

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

 



This corrects the display of the ext4 line that starts with a single quote.
One could fix this error by moving the quoted string.
Instead, this patch also tries to prevent this error from occuring in
the future. It changes the no-break control character to a character which
is less likely to be used at the start of a line in this text (the semicolon).
If changing this control character seems like a better way to go
than actively avoiding the problem, it might be good to take the
same approach in all util-linux-ng man pages.
