Subject: [PATCH] kexec: update manpage with explicit mention of clean kexec
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2023 10:59:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230707052929.427625-1-hbathini@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
While the manpage does mention about kexec boot with a clean shutdown,
it is not explicit about it. Make it explicit.
