From c2a4a8dded2dfb56dbcab9689b6cb4b96c9999b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:07:37 +0200 Subject: rename 'apt-get files' to 'apt-get indextargets' 'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in. Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly. --- doc/apt-get.8.xml | 24 +++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/apt-get.8.xml') diff --git a/doc/apt-get.8.xml b/doc/apt-get.8.xml index b0fe390df..81a9036c4 100644 --- a/doc/apt-get.8.xml +++ b/doc/apt-get.8.xml @@ -239,9 +239,9 @@ - + Displays by default a deb822 formatted listing of - information about all data files apt-get + information about all data files (aka index targets) apt-get update would download.
