Subject: [PATCH 6/6] chattr.1: say "cleared" instead of "reset"
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 17:48:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191118014852.390686-7-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191118014852.390686-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
Setting a bit to 0 is normally called "clearing", not "resetting"; and
chattr.1 already says "clear" in some places. Use "clear" consistently.
