Subject: dcb-pfc.8: some remarks and editorial changes for this manual

  The man page is from Debian:

Package: iproute2
Version: 6.11.0-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

  Improve the layout of the man page according to the "man-page(7)"
guidelines, the output of "mandoc -lint T", the output of
"groff -mandoc -t -ww -b -z", that of a shell script, and typographical
conventions.

-.-

  Output from a script "chk_man" is in the attachment.
