Subject: [PATCH] gai.conf.5: Fix syntax and description for 'label' keyword
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 10:40:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106104017.38763-1-champbreed1@gmail.com> (raw)
The documentation incorrectly listed 'precedence' as the parameter for
'label'. Updated it to 'label-value' to match the actual glibc
implementation and RFC 3484.
Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208879
