From 804c0b2ad321247e50910511f691d987d8141081 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:03:29 -0800 Subject: doc clarifications for server flags The "-f" is a shortcut for "-c" ... and providing any "-c" options means the "openocd.cfg" file isn't implicitly used. Both the User's Guide and the manual page were weak on these points, which has led to some confusion. Also update the manual page to include highlights of the search path mechanism, including the facts that it exists and that "-s" adds to it. Stop saying only the current directory is involved; the OpenOCD script library is quite significant. (Missing: complete manpage coverage of the search path, including a FILES section listing all components and saying where the script library is found.)
