Kees van Reeuwijk 4957250166 iproute2: clarification of various man8 pages
Rephrasing for clarity.

Note that in ip-rule.8 I rephrased a sentence to "The RPDB is scanned
in order of decreasing priority." The original version talked about
*in*creasing priority, but from the context that didn't make sense.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mroute
objects are multicast routing cache entries created by a user-level
mrouting daemon (f.e.
.B pimd
or
.B mrouted
).
Due to the limitations of the current interface to the multicast routing
engine, it is impossible to change
.B mroute
objects administratively, so we can only display them. This limitation
will be removed in the future.
.SS ip mroute show - list mroute cache entries
