scripts: kernel-doc: Translate the "Output selection" subsection of OPTIONS
Aim: unified POD, user more satisfied, script better structured The plurals in -function and -nosymbol are corrected to singulars. That's how the script works now. I think this describes the syntax better. The plurar suggests multiple FILE arguments might be possible. So this seems more coherent. Other notes: - paragraphing correction - article correction Signed-off-by: Tomasz Warniełło <tomasz.warniello@gmail.com> Tested-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Disliked-by: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220218181628.1411551-7-tomasz.warniello@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
