Subject: [PATCH v5 35/54] doc: correct errors in metrics library guide
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 11:10:38 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118191323.241013-36-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118191323.241013-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Correct various issues in the metrics library documentation:

- capitalize sentence start
- fix subject-verb agreement for "function that returns"
- add missing variable declarations (ret, i) in code example
- remove extra space in malloc line
- use consistent American spelling "Deinitializing"
- invalid C syntax: rte_metrics_deinit(void) -> ()
- normalize spacing in metric name lists
- fix typo mac_latency_ns to max_latency_ns
- remove unused variable declaration from example
