[PATCH] fsck(8): Some typographical corrections to the manual

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

 



Package: util-linux
Version: 2.24.1
Severity: minor
File: disk-utils/fsck.8
Tags: patch

  The word "kilobytes" is ambiguous.  Change it to "kibibytes" if kilo
does not mean 1000.  Otherwise add "(1000 B)" after it.

  Changes:

  A string, that begins or ends with a full stop (.), protected with \&

  - changed to \- if it shows an option

  -- change to \(en if it means a dash (pause, separation)

  Space between sentences is two word spaces in *roff.  Thus it is
better to begin each sentence on a new line when the file contains
formatting commands

  --- changed to \(en if it means a dash (pause, separation)

  Punctuation separated from a word with a space, if it is an argument
to a macro like "BR" (two font styles used alternately)

  Adjusting inhibited for the section "SEE ALSO" with ".na/.ad"

  Patch is in the attachment
