Subject: [MAN] Update manual page to differentiate dash from ash
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils%2Fdash%2Fdash.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=956b4bd209a9d17613e419e2b50e0f533600497b
[MAN] Update manual page to differentiate dash from ash
Rename sh to dash in the header and synopsis; remove reference to the
4.4 BSD release in the description, and replace the history information
with a reference to NetBSD's ash.
