Subject: bug#57815: 29.0.50; loaddefs-generate docstring: DIR vs. DIRS
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 04:55:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmfxny7i.fsf@web.de> (raw)
Hello,
the first arg of loaddefs-generate has the name DIR but the first
sentence names it DIRS.
While that argument can be a dir or a list of dirs, this first sentence
breaks our rules.
Would it be worth to name the argument "DIR-OR-DIRS" for discoverability
- or should the docstring just say
"Generate loaddefs files for Lisp files in DIR.
DIR can be either a single directory or a list of directories.
[...]" ?
TIA,
Michael.
