From 84d5f6dd4987bb78f85a706b0fc689d5b51bbba0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 11:00:09 +0200 Subject: man: trafgen: Minor fixes Replace "on default" by "by default", make it a bit more clear what the seed in the -E/--seed option is for and mention exit after display of information on --version and --help.
