2015-06-10man: clarify that IMPORT{program} is done only for zero exit codeAndrei Borzenkov
2015-06-02man: replace hard-coded /usr/libDaniel Mack
Replace some /usr/lib occurences in man/ with &rootprefix;/lib.
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.

https://github.com/vlajos/misspell_fixer https://github.com/torstehu/systemd/commit/b6fdeb618cf2f3ce1645b3315f15f482710c7ffa Thanks to Torstein Husebo <torstein@huseboe.net>.
2014-12-18systemd-hwdb: introduce new toolTom Gundersen
This pulls out the hwdb managment from udevadm into an independent tool. The old code is left in place for backwards compatibility, and easy of testing, but all documentation is dropped to encourage use of the new tool instead.
2014-11-21man: add emacs header to get correct indention in nxml-mode for the manpage ↵Lennart Poettering
XML files that use 2ch indenting In the long run we really should figure out if we want to stick with 8ch or 2ch indenting, and not continue with half-and-half. For now, just make emacs aware of the files that use 2ch indenting.
2014-10-28udev hwdb: Support shipping pre-compiled database in system imagesMartin Pitt
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc. So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/ and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib. Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database into UDEVLIBEXECDIR. Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we already have it in /usr.
2014-09-11udev: allow removing tags via TAG-="foobar"David Herrmann
This extends the udev parser to support OP_REMOVE (-=) and adds support for TAG-= to remove previously set tags. We don't fail if the tag didn't exist. This is pretty handy if we ship default rules for seat-assignments and users want to exclude specific devices from that. They can easily add rules that drop any automatically added "seat" tags again.

2014-07-29udev: unify event timeout handlingKay Sievers
2014-02-25man: split out systemd.link(5) from udev(7)Tom Gundersen
2014-02-23core: clean up some confusing regarding SI decimal and IEC binary suffixes ↵Lennart Poettering
for sizes According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary). So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi" instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is.
2014-02-22udev: net - allow MTU and Speed to be specified with unitsTom Gundersen
This also changes the names to MTUBytes and BitsPerSecond, respectively. Notice that the speed was mistakenly documented to be in bytes before this change.
2014-02-21net-util: match on the driver as exposed by ethtool if DRIVER not setTom Gundersen
Also fix a copy-paste error that broke matching on interface name.
2014-02-21man: suffix networkd config file options with "="Lennart Poettering
That's what we do for all options in the other man pages. It helps clarifying that these are options that values need to be assigned to.
2014-02-21.network/.netdev/.link: allow to match on architectureTom Gundersen
2014-02-20man: networkd/udev - add to [Match] documentationTom Gundersen
2014-02-19udev: net-config - allow interface names to be set from the hwdbTom Gundersen
2014-02-18net-match: fix Driver= matchTom Gundersen
It should match on the driver of the parent device.
2014-02-18doc: orthographic correctionsJan Engelhardt
2014-02-17doc: resolve missing/extraneous words or inappropriate formsJan Engelhardt
Issues fixed: * missing words required by grammar * duplicated or extraneous words * inappropriate forms (e.g. singular/plural), and declinations * orthographic misspellings
2014-02-14man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO, so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc.
2014-02-14man: fix grammatical errors and other formatting issuesJason St. John
* standardize capitalization of STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR * reword some sentences for clarity * reflow some very long lines to be shorter than ~80 characters * add some missing <literal>, <constant>, <varname>, <option>, and <filename> tags
2014-01-04Revert "net-util: add support for Type=ethernet"Tom Gundersen
This reverts commit 4cd1214db6cf4b262e8ce6381bc710091b375c96. This may still be fixed in the kernel, revert this for now until we see how it all shakes out.
2014-01-03net-util: add support for Type=ethernetTom Gundersen
When DEVTYPE is not set for a nic, it means it is a wired/ethernet device.
2013-12-25man: grammar and wording improvementsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: - missing words, preposition choice. - change of /lib to /usr/lib, because that is what most distros are using as the system-wide location for systemd/udev files.
2013-11-25udev: net_setup_link - don't use Description as AliasTom Gundersen
Use Description only internally, and allow Alias to be set as a separate option. For instance SNMP uses ifalias for a specific purpose, so let's not write to it by default.
2013-11-11udev.xml: add missing </para> tagDave Reisner
2013-11-10udev.xml: minor fixes to network link configurationDave Reisner
- Refer to net_setup_link, not net-setup-link - Mention the required file extension earlier
2013-11-10man: udev - add documentation for .link filesTom Gundersen
2013-10-08udev: support custom Linux Security Module labels for device nodesKay Sievers
2013-07-23man: Fix copy&paste errorMichael Biebl
2013-07-21man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
2013-07-21man: udev - add section about hwdbKay Sievers
2013-07-16udev: export tags of "dead" device nodes to /run/udev/static_node-tags/Tom Gundersen
Based on a patch by Kay Sievers. A tag is exported at boot as a symlinks to the device node in the folder /run/udev/static_node-tags/<tagname>/, if the device node exists. These tags are cleaned up by udevadm info --cleanup-db, but are otherwise never removed.
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'.]
2013-06-26man: always supply quotes around literalsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
When manpages are displayed on a terminal, <literal>s are indistinguishable from surrounding text. Add quotes everywhere, remove duplicate quotes, and tweak a few lists for consistent formatting. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874631
2013-06-22journal-verify: allow unlinked data entriesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Sometimes an entry is not successfully written, and we end up with data items which are "unlinked", not connected to, and not used by any entry. This will usually happen when we write to write a core dump, and the initial small data fields are written successfully, but the huge COREDUMP= field is not written. This situation is hard to avoid, but the results are mostly harmless. Thus only warn about unused data items. Also, be more verbose about why journal files failed verification. This should help diagnose journal failure modes without resorting to a hexadecimal editor. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65235 (esp. see system.journal attached to the bug report).
2013-03-18man: udev - clarify when RUN is executedTom Gundersen
Unlike IMPORT and PROGRAM, RUN is not executed inline, but after all the rules of the given event have been processed.
2013-03-18man: udev - move documentation of configuration fileTom Gundersen
Moved from udev(7) to systemd-udevd.service(8), where the rest of the documentation of the configuration of the daemon lives.
2013-03-18man: udev - document 'builtin'Tom Gundersen
The new IMPORT{builtin} and RUN{builtin} were not documented. Also make it clear that RUN= is really an alias for RUN{program}=.
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.
2013-01-26man: docbook consitency fixesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Use proper (or at least more proper) docbook tags for various fields. This should help with automatic parsing of the documentation.
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
2012-07-02udev: man - clarify escaping and replacing for SYMLINK+=Kay Sievers
2012-06-22man: refer to udevd by its service name not binary nameLennart Poettering
Since the binary name is now hidden away in /usr/lib/ the primary user handle for the udev service is the unit name, hence change the man page to be available under the unit name, and make the binary name an alias for it.
2012-04-17udev: install udevd as /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevdKay Sievers
