[PATCH] xfsprogs: document fpunch command in xfs_io

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

 



Add manpage documentation for the new fpunch command in xfs_io.

Also fix references to the fallocate manpage, which is (now?)
in section 2, not section 3 of the man pages.  (Since it's
a syscall, not a library function).
