2016-04-25man: document the new by-fd journal callsLennart Poettering
Also, remove documentation for sd_journal_open_container() as we consider it deprecated now.
2016-04-25man: don't include history sections in man pagesLennart Poettering
I am pretty sure we shouldn't carry history sections in man pages, since it's very hard to keep them correctly updated, the current ones are very out-of-date, and they tend to make APIs appear unnecessarily complex.

2015-06-18man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
2015-05-28man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
2014-05-07doc: balance C indirections in function prototypesJan Engelhardt
Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is used in source code. Addendum to commit v209~82.
2014-02-19man: fix references to .pc files which aren't separate anymoreLennart Poettering
2013-12-11journal: add ability to browse journals of running OS containersLennart Poettering
This adds the new library call sd_journal_open_container() and a new "-M" switch to journalctl. Particular care is taken that journalctl's "-b" switch resolves to the current boot ID of the container, not the host.
2013-09-12man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
2013-07-16journal: return -ECHILD after a forkZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
A few asserts are replaced with 'return -EINVAL'. I think that assert should not be used to check argument in public functions. Fields in struct sd_journal are rearranged to make it less swiss-cheesy.
2013-06-29man: fix spacing issue in various man pagesJason St. John
Before: libsystemd-daemonpkg-config(1) After: libsystemd-daemon pkg-config(1) This fix is more complicated than it should be due to the consecutive XML elements separated by collapsible whitespace. Merging the lines and separating the XML elements with an en space or a non-breaking space is the only solution that results in one, and only one, space being inserted between them when testing. An em space results in two spaces being inserted.

2013-06-10journal: add sd_journal_open_filesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This allows the caller to explicitly specify which journal files should be opened. The same functionality could be achieved before by creating a directory and playing around with symlinks. It is useful to debug stuff and explore the journal, and has been requested before. Waiting is supported, the journal will notice modifications on the files supplied when opening the journal, but will not add any new files.
2013-06-10journal: add ability to filter by current userZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This is the just the library part. SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER flags is added to sd_j_open(), to open files from current user. SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM_ONLY is renamed to SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM, and changed to mean to (also) open system files. This way various flags can be combined, which gives them nicer semantics, especially if other ones are added later. Backwards compatibility is kept, because SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM_ONLY is equivalent to SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM if used alone, and before there we no other flags.

2012-10-26man: typo fixesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890 Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown" to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit 8bd3b8620c80d0f2383f2fb04315411fc8077ca1
