Subject: doc: fix use of "e.g." in stdbuf help message
X-Git-Tag: v8.24~214

doc: fix use of "e.g." in stdbuf help message

"E.g." stands for latin "exempli gratia" which is typically read
as "for example".  "E.g." does not stand for the word "example".
As such, "for e.g." might be read as "for for example".

Fix this usage by simply replacing "e.g." with "example".
