Subject: RFA: fix documentation for file -readnow
Date: Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:24:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m37hqskgg1.fsf@fleche.redhat.com> (raw)

This patch fixes PR cli/8830.

The bug is that a user got confused by the documentation, which reads:

`symbol-file FILENAME [ -readnow ]'
`file FILENAME [ -readnow ]'
   [...]

It turns out that file and symbol-file only accept -readnow as the first
argument.

This patch fixes the documentation to reflect the code.

Ok?
