Subject: [PATCH] Fix grammar in ip-rule(8) man page

Hey there,

I have identified a small grammatical error in the ip-rule(8) man
page, and have created a patch to fix it. The current first line of
the DESCRIPTION section reads:

> ip rule manipulates rules in the routing policy database control the route selection algorithm.

This sentence contains a grammatical error, as "control" should either
be changed to "that controls" (to apply to "database") or "to control"
(to apply to "manipulates"). I have updated the sentence to read:

> ip rule manipulates rules in the routing policy database that controls the route selection algorithm.

This change improves the readability and clarity of the ip-rule(8) man
page and makes it easier for users to understand how to use the IP
rule command.

I have attached the patch file by the name
"0001-fixed-the-grammar-in-ip-rule-8-man-page.patch" to this email and
would appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Thank you!
