[PATCH v2 2/5] config: use --value=<pattern> consistently
From: <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-01 15:15:01
Subsystem:
documentation, the rest · Maintainers:
Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <redacted>
This option was introduced in a series of commits from fe3ccc7aab (Merge
branch 'ps/config-subcommands', 2024-05-15). But two styles were used
for the value provided to the option:
1. Synopsis: `--value=<value>`
2. Deprecated Modes: `--value=<pattern>`
(2) is also used in the synopsis on the command.
Use (2) consistently throughout since it’s a pattern in the general
case (`value` sounds more generic).

Notes (series):
v2:
• Unbreak t/t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh caused by source/doc synopsis being
out of synch
• Replaced the rest that I missed
