From 15fc8cb3fa98decd0095c5f99af9f614a67e1611 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhupesh Sharma Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2020 14:32:44 +0530 Subject: vmcore-dmesg/man page: Update the vmcore-dmesg man page The vmcore-dmesg utility has been in usage for several years, and is pretty stable now. So its useful now to modify its man page to indicate the same. Also fix some minor formatting issues.
