Subject: setarch: add --3gb option fot compatibility with Debian linux{32,64} command
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e322675f96b4ff4f198b4ec6673059ceb30fbf1;p=util-linux

setarch: add --3gb option fot compatibility with Debian linux{32,64} command

Debian had a pre-existing linux{32,64} command which supported only
--3gb and --4gb. Adding support for those options allows setarch to
replace that package.

(Note that long options are expected for all setarch flags in the next
release.)
