Subject: [9front] [PATCH] riowctl and $wctl are no more, update man pages
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 12:44:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E2C69601315C6C81329AC5C17405375B@smtp.pobox.com> (raw)

Back in September, we removed riowctl (`{git/export
87160cbfcf926fd0a9f04e8113a16c2a0c7e252d} ) and $wctl.  I had used
riowctl for one of my scripts and so was puzzled by its absence.
Here's a patch to update the documentation.
