- Subject: Fix "maint time" command documentation.
Hello,
The documentation for the "maint time" command does not mention the units of time.
Also, there are a couple of typos in there. I have attempted to fix these in the
following patch; please let me know if we could word/punctuate this better and
I'll be happy to re-spin.
I rebuilt gdb.info and visually inspected the generated gdb.info
Thank you,
Anmol.
