Cosmetic docs change.

Comment 2 Marta Lewandowska 2022-07-29 10:40:46 UTC

--update-kernel=kernel-path
              The entries for kernels matching kernel-path are updated. Currently the only items that can be updated is the  kernel
              argument  list,  which is modified via the --args and --remove-args options. If the ALL argument is used the variable
              GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub is updated with the latest kernel argument list, unless the --no-etc-grub-up‐
              date option is used or the file does not exist (e.g., on s390x).

Setting Verified: Tested
