Remove RETURNS from BFD chew comments
When reading the BFD manual, I noticed text like this: -- Function: bool bfd_close (bfd *abfd); Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed. If ... *Returns* 'TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise 'FALSE'. The *Returns*, like the *Synopsis* in the earlier patch, is un-info-like. It's also used inconsistently. This patch removes all the uses of the RETURNS word and removes it entirely from the chew scripts. Now this example reads: -- Function: bool bfd_close (bfd *abfd); Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed. If ... 'TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise 'FALSE'. In a few cases I had to slightly reword the comment. There were also a couple of cases where there was redundant text. In these cases I just dropped the RETURNS copy. 2023-02-07 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * bfd.c, cache.c, compress.c, opncls.c: Remove RETURNS from documentation comments. * doc/doc.str, doc/proto.str (RETURNS): Remove.
