From 3ed7221bf7832f207a125e6364ece1826d369c37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido Trentalancia Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:51:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] policycoreutils: run_init: clarification of the usage in the manual page It's a very minor thing really, but I believe (on the basis of an off-list question) that the manual page for policycoreutils/run_init can be improved by the following short patch which aims to further clarify the intended usage of such tool and mention that it caters for one (somewhat hidden) compile-time option.
