Subject: [PATCH 1/2] doc: remove reference to device selection option
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:46:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250717114604.2285791-1-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)

--use-device was replaced with -a / --vdev options in v1.6
with commit cac6d08c8bde ("devargs: replace --use-device option by
--pci-whitelist and --vdev").

It was reintroduced in the doc in v1.8 when the rst documentation
was imported in .rst format.

Fixes: 1ab07743b21b ("doc: getting started guide for linux")
Fixes: dacdbfa45752 ("doc: getting started guide for freebsd")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
