[PATCH] doc: csplit: more accurate --elide-empty-files help


From: Pádraig Brady
Subject: [PATCH] doc: csplit: more accurate --elide-empty-files help
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2023 21:46:28 +0000

* src/csplit.c (usage): Use "suppress" rather than "remove"
when describing -z so it's more apparent that the effect
is a particular numbered file is not created, rather than
being removed later.  I.e., don't suggest -z may induce
gaps in file numbering.
