[systemd-devel] [PATCH 2/2] man: wording and grammar updates

Jan Engelhardt jengelh at inai.de
Mon Nov 11 20:49:47 PST 2013


This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted: comma setting, missing words/preposition choice.

Important this time: /lib was changed to /usr/lib, since that is what
most distros seem to use for their systemd/udev file location.
