Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] docs: correct trailer `key_value_separator` description
Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2024 00:38:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240318053848.185201-1-brianmlyles@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240316035612.752910-1-brianmlyles@gmail.com>

The description for `key_value_separator` incorrectly states that this
separator is inserted between trailer lines, which appears likely to
have been incorrectly copied from `separator` when this option was
added.

Update the description to correctly indicate that it is a separator that
appears between the key and the value of each trailer.
