From bfd9a4f396d144199cb57376e6928701cf0dc931 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Lang Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:46:50 +0100 Subject: Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to its The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying for some readers. This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I didn't look. --- erts/doc/src/alt_dist.xml | 8 ++++---- erts/doc/src/driver.xml | 2 +- erts/doc/src/erl_driver.xml | 2 +- erts/doc/src/erlang.xml | 4 ++-- erts/doc/src/notes.xml | 2 +- 5 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'erts') diff --git a/erts/doc/src/alt_dist.xml b/erts/doc/src/alt_dist.xml index a929aec97f..36d83a685b 100644 --- a/erts/doc/src/alt_dist.xml +++ b/erts/doc/src/alt_dist.xml @@ -434,7 +434,7 @@ (13) Word received; /* Bytes received */ (14) struct uds_data *partner; /* The partner in an accept/listen pair */ (15) struct uds_data *next; /* Next structure in list */ -(16) /* The input buffer and it's data */ +(16) /* The input buffer and its data */ (17) int buffer_size; /* The allocated size of the input buffer */ (18) int buffer_pos; /* Current position in input buffer */ (19) int header_pos; /* Where the current header is in the @@ -825,7 +825,7 @@ I/O vector itself.
