Subject: [PATCH] losetup: restore -f/loopdev alternative
Date: Thu,  6 Jan 2022 11:03:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220106100307.3543758-1-steve@sk2.org> (raw)

-f and loopdev are exclusive; the old man page made this explicit, but
this was lost in the Asciidoc transition in commit 6d5b69483a58
("Asciidoc: Import sys-utils man pages, part 1").

This patch restores the lost pipe, so that the disjunction is
explicit:

        losetup ... [--show] -f|loopdev file
                               ^
