Subject: progs/catsign.1: Fix the warning about `verify' output.
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/u/mdw/catacomb/commitdiff_plain/7cb116b74239de970c1be187774a46a4e6d81e41

progs/catsign.1: Fix the warning about `verify' output.

Obviously copied from `catcrypt decrypt', which does only output
verified data because of its chunking; but `catsign' doesn't work like
this by default.
