From 8c58a9cca2e8f24027cf6a397043cc8a8cb7aff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:18:37 -0800 Subject: dev-manual: Edits to "Metadata" term. In the "Terms" section, I enhanced the "Metadata" term to include a bit about Metadata in the context of the kernel. This type of metadata is discussed at length in the YP Linux Kernel Development Manual.
