Inline::C is required as of commit 1d6e1f9a6a66 (lei: require Socket::MsgHdr or Inline::C, drop oneshot, 2021-05-26); but Socket::MsgHdr still gives a noticeable improvement in bash completion speed. Also, spell-out "MESSAGE-ID" since "MID" is actually not a common abbreviation ("MSGID" is used by RFC 3977 and several other RFCs, I recall). --- Documentation/lei-overview.pod | 22 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/lei-overview.pod b/Documentation/lei-overview.pod index e80cb094cecc..40a7b0aadd04 100644 --- a/Documentation/lei-overview.pod +++ b/Documentation/lei-overview.pod @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ Show message with the git blob OID of 59ec517f9.
