From dbc61a5038cacc516a49d00a59a669e2617cff51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garrett D'Amore Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 19:19:06 -0700 Subject: Language cleanups in the documentation. Mostly this is removal of the smart quotes, which were over-used, and misused, and could have been mistaken to be pejorative. A few other minor nits were fixed while here. --- docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc') diff --git a/docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc b/docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc index 33504da1..91fd2ab5 100644 --- a/docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc +++ b/docs/man/nng_mtx_lock.3supp.adoc @@ -40,8 +40,9 @@ It is a programming error for the owner of a mutex to attempt to reacquire it. **** -_nng_ offers neither a "`trylock`" operation, nor recursive mutexes. -This is by design, as _nng_ itself does not use such things, +_NNG_ offers neither a non-blocking variant that can fail, +nor recursive mutexes. +This is by design, as _NNG_ itself does not use such things, and most often the need for them is the result of poor design.
