From b2973dcf09bc714f8918b2b22faab8b80c60e695 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Wooding Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2018 18:39:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] progs/catcrypt.1: The default `cipher' depends on the bulk transform. As does the space of acceptable names. Refactor the manual a little to describe this properly. --- progs/catcrypt.1 | 18 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/progs/catcrypt.1 b/progs/catcrypt.1 index 6c554408..c26cbece 100644 --- a/progs/catcrypt.1 +++ b/progs/catcrypt.1 @@ -248,7 +248,12 @@ Makes use of .B cipher and .B mac -attributes. +attributes.
