[PATCH v4 2/6] cpupower-idle-info.1: fix short option names
From: Roberto Ricci
Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 21:41:11 EST
The cpupower-idle-info(1) man page describes '-f' as the short form of the
'--silent' option and '-e' as the short form of the '--proc' option.
But they are not correct:
$ cpupower idle-info -f
idle-info: invalid option -- 'f'
invalid or unknown argument
$ cpupower idle-info -e
idle-info: invalid option -- 'e'
invalid or unknown argument
The short form of '--silent' is actually '-s' and the short form of
'--proc' is actually '-o':
cpuidle-info.c:
{"silent", no_argument, NULL, 's'},
{"proc", no_argument, NULL, 'o'},
