Subject: [PATCH v2] kexec: update manpage with explicit mention of clean kexec
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:29:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230920115927.1087546-1-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.
