Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: sysrq: Remove contradicting sentence on extra /proc/sysrq-trigger characters
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 18:24:09 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008112409.33622-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)
/proc/sysrq-trigger documentation states that only first character is
processed and the rest is ignored, yet it is not recommended to write
any extra characters to it. The latter statement is contradictive as
these characters are also ignored as implied by preceding sentence.
Remove it.

Write a single character to /proc/sysrq-trigger.
Only the first character is processed, the rest of the string is
- ignored. However, it is not recommended to write any extra characters
- as the behavior is undefined and might change in the future versions.
- E.g.::
+ ignored. E.g.::
echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
