From 05fab576650cfd2ff8f6768a9133bab7c8becc6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guy Harris Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 03:54:53 +0000 Subject: Fix some typos. Make the descriptions of all options full sentences (if an option sets XXX, describe it as "Sets XXX" rather than just "XXX"); some were, some weren't. Note that "-f" sets the *capture* filter expression. Don't say that Ethereal can read only "libpcap"-format files; it can read other formats (using "wiretap" to read capture files is no longer an option, it's what Ethereal always uses). svn path=/trunk/; revision=368 --- doc/ethereal.pod.template | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/ethereal.pod.template b/doc/ethereal.pod.template index ff6d7c71e4..e6c13af48f 100644 --- a/doc/ethereal.pod.template +++ b/doc/ethereal.pod.template @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ S<[ B<-w> savefile]> B is a network protocol analyzer based on the B GUI toolkit.
