From aedd46f66ed5462c0e0193faa977a6dfef4fd0de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2016 20:34:54 +0100 Subject: docs: various pages: Use consistent terminology (set-user-ID and set-group-ID) Use consistent terminology for set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits. There's much inconsistency in the pages. "suid", "set-user-identifier", "setuid". Stick with one terminology, "set-user-ID" and set-grout-ID, as suggested in man-pages(7).
