From f448e24e2fe336621306b04b84e947bdd04f7ecc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abhijit Menon-Sen Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:03:43 +0530 Subject: Make the DESCRIPTION match ... items in the SYNOPSIS When the SYNOPSIS says e.g. "...", it is nice if the DESCRIPTION also mentions "..." and says the specified "paths" (note plural) are used for $whatever. This fixes the obvious mismatches.
