Subject: [PATCH 1/3] nsenter: (usage) correct the formatting of eight option arguments
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 12:20:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308112004.9206-1-bensberg@telfort.nl> (raw)
Angle brackets should wrap each placeholder separately: <file> and
<nsid>. Angle brackets should not enclose metacharacters (|) nor
literal ones (= and :).
(The mistaken formatting was introduced by commit f2a5997869.)
