Subject: locale.5, repertoiremap.5: clarify keyword syntax
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:19:55 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <575E5E9B.9030301@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

All the glibc locale/repertoiremap files use the format described in the
patch below, the fix is trivial (and adds an example just in case), I
presume these were copypasted from charmaps.5 page, all the glibc charmaps
use slightly different format for keywords (I'll send a separate patch
to address charmaps.5 next).
