From: Johannes Altmanninger Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2022 06:11:57 +0000 (+0100) Subject: kill.1.adoc: clarify syntax of -SIG argument in synopsis X-Git-Tag: v2.38-rc2~46 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd1e7e27f81aad430f0e35c737af03cfc44e4d67;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git kill.1.adoc: clarify syntax of -SIG argument in synopsis kill.1.adoc has this synopsis line *kill* [-signal|*-s* _signal_] For "-signal", the leading "-" should be typed literally, and the "signal" suffix should be replaced by a signal name/number. This means that according to GNU man(1), the "-" should render in bold font whereas the "signal" placeholder should use italic (which terminals often render with underscores). Make it so. Use two askerisks because one is not enough for sub-word markup [*].
