When this parameter is specified by name, ie with the "target="
syntax in the configuration file, it consumes the whole rest of the
- <diskspec>. Therefore in that case it must come last. This is
- permissible even if an empty value for the target was already
- specified as a positional parameter. This is the only way to
- specify a target string containing metacharacters such as commas
- and (in some cases) colons, which would otherwise be
+ <diskspec> including trailing whitespaces. Therefore in that case
+ it must come last. This is permissible even if an empty value for
+ the target was already specified as a positional parameter. This
+ is the only way to specify a target string containing metacharacters
+ such as commas and (in some cases) colons, which would otherwise be
misinterpreted.
Future parameter and flag names will start with an ascii letter and
