[PATCH] man/man5/gai.conf: Labels have a label not a precedence

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-04 22:04:50
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <redacted>

The numeric value on a label entry is a label which is separate
from the precedences.  Labels are compared with other labels, not
precedences.

Rename the field.
