From 77525a84a5ffc19ca0ff2989dc787d0c257248da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerhard Sittig Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 20:34:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] doc: weaken and extend the description of the -d option The software implementation supports automatic driver scans, while the manpage claimed that -d was mandatory. Change the description, suggest to specify -d for various reasons, but "allow" for the absence of the -d option as well. --- doc/sigrok-cli.1 | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/doc/sigrok-cli.1 b/doc/sigrok-cli.1 index e5562c1..bda6cf3 100644 --- a/doc/sigrok-cli.1 +++ b/doc/sigrok-cli.1 @@ -34,7 +34,10 @@ This is generally only used by developers to easily update the list of supported protocol decoders in the sigrok wiki. .TP \fB\-d, \-\-driver\fP -A driver must always be selected (unless doing a global scan).
