From 498dff9013d18e5978ab77c14ea2b2d0229603a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Helmut K. C. Tessarek" Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2025 23:18:26 +0100 Subject: refactor: use the term unmount instead of dismount (#1478) * refactor: use UNMOUNT instead of DISMOUNT in code This change updates the term DISMOUNT in constants to UNMOUNT. Other occurrences (e.g. variable names) are left alone for now. * refactor(ui): use unmount instead of dismount This change updates the GUI text and replaces dismount with unmount. * docs: update term dismount -> unmount * refactor(cmdline): add unmount This change adds an argument 'unmount' for command line usage, while trying to deprecate the old disnount argument. The current dismount argument/flag will still work to not introduce a breaking change. * docs: mention that /dismount is deprecated This change fixes the shorthand version of the argument /unmount It also adds back the info for /dismount and that it is deprecated. --- doc/html/FAQ.html | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/html/FAQ.html') diff --git a/doc/html/FAQ.html b/doc/html/FAQ.html index e310f3e8..df1bfe8d 100644 --- a/doc/html/FAQ.html +++ b/doc/html/FAQ.html @@ -227,7 +227,7 @@ VeraCrypt volumes are independent of the operating system.
