Hello,

I discovered a typo in the smartctl(8) man page from
smartmontools-6.5-1.dmg (from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/smartmontools/6.5/).

smartctl(8) man page package version:
smartmontools-6.5 2016-05-07 r4318
$Id: smartctl.8.in 4311 2016-04-27 21:03:01Z chrfranke $

Subsection(s):
OPTIONS
=> RUN-TIME BEHAVIOUR OPTIONS:
=> -d TYPE, --device=TYPE

Line(s):
"test - prints the guessed type, then opens the device and prints the
(possibly changed) TYPE name and then exists without performing any
further commands."

Issue:
The word "exists" should be "exits".

Thanks for the detailed documentation,
Jeremy Zaretski
