Document UFW's delete, insert and prepend commands as mutually exclusive

[Greg Atkinson]

Hi,

From testing various ufw commands, I believe the delete, insert and prepend rule commands are mutually exclusive. These rule commands are currently documented on the man page as:

    [delete] [insert NUM] [prepend]

Where I believe this should be:

    [delete | insert NUM | prepend]

A minor distinction, but one related to a fix required to the community.general.ufw Ansible plugin for the mutually exclusive treatment of delete and insert.

Please let me know if I've missed anything.

Thanks!
