2016-12-11man: use unicode ellipsis in more placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
As requested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557. docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer. In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other places.

Also reword some ungainly grammar constructs.
2015-08-16man: extend documentation for timedatectl's set-ntp commandLennart Poettering
This extends on the relationship between timedatectl's set-ntp command and its effect on the systemd-timesyncd.service unit. This also links that unit back to the timedatectl man page. Closes #798.
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.
2015-04-08man: avoid confusion regarding "time synchronization state"Lennart Poettering
Also, update example in the timedatectl man page to match the actual timedatectl output.
2015-04-07timedatectl: avoid specifically referring to NTPLennart Poettering
systemd-timesyncd not only does NTP, but also manages clock monotonicity using a flags file. In future, it might learn PTP support. Hence don't expose its enablement state as "NTP" but use the more generic term "network time synchronization". After all, for similar reasons systemd-timesyncd is not called systemd-ntpd.
2015-04-07man: update timedatectl(1)'s examplesLennart Poettering
The output didn't match what we output these days. Also, "set-ntp" cannot be used to control chronyd anymore.

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?

As usual, those common options are pushed to the end.

2014-02-14man: always place <programlisting> and </programlisting> in a line with ↵Lennart Poettering
actual sources, so that we don't get spurious newlines in the man page output
2014-02-12man: use xinclude to de-deduplicate common textZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I only tested with python-lxml. I'm not sure if xml.etree should be deprecated.
2014-02-12pager: support SYSTEMD_LESS environment variableJason A. Donenfeld
This allows customization of the arguments used by less. The main motivation is that some folks might not like having --no-init on every invocation of less.

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)
2013-09-10man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits. In this particular commit: - the usual comma fixes - expand contractions (this is prose)
2013-07-02man: add more formatting markupZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-07-02man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pagesJason St. John
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas, capitalization, spelling, etc. To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were revised. [zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]
2013-05-21man: Document missing optionsJan Janssen
2013-02-13man: Make options consistentWilliam Giokas
Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt, long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long opt, for formatting's sake.
2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.
2013-01-26man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all untagged <varname> elements. Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if similarly named options exist elsewhere.

timedatectl is too cool not to advertise it a bit.

Quite long to read but hopefully less misleading.
2012-10-17hostname: add new hostnamectl tool as text client for hostnamedLennart Poettering
2012-10-17timedatectl: introduce new command line client for timedatedLennart Poettering
Much like logind has a client in loginctl, and journald in journalctl introduce timedatectl, to change the system time (incl. RTC), timezones and related settings.
