Description Pavel Valena 2016-09-27 15:14:10 UTC 
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-signing-kernel-modules-for-secure-boot.html

Section Number and Name: 
26.8.3. Generating a Public and Private X.509 Key Pair
par 2 - script box

and

26.8.5. Signing Kernel Module with the Private Key
par 2 - script box

Describe the issue:
Commands have \ > several times in them.
It was probably intended to write them like \
this.

Suggestions for improvement:
F.e.
~]# perl /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file \
  sha256 \
  my_signing_key.priv \
  my_signing_key_pub.der \
  my_module.ko
Comment 2 Pavel Valena 2016-10-01 15:54:26 UTC 
Apparently[1], the sign-file script is not a perl script anymore.

However I do no know the kernel version it was changed in, so it could be relevant only for Fedora documentation[2].
