[PATCH] - libxt_bpf: use correct shell term in man page description

[Mart Frauenlob]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 258 bytes --]

Hello,

use 'command substitution' as correct shell term instead of 'backticks'.
Also mention backquotes and `$()' form.

btw: After compiling in the git directory the nfbpf_compile binary is 
shown as new file by git. Should that be so?

Best regards

Mart
