2016-06-14man: fix option letter in udevadm control -eZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
-x never worked, so let's just correct the man page. Fixes #3524.

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.

2014-12-18systemd-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.
2014-11-25udevadm trigger: allow matching by device nameZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This makes udevadm trigger mirror udevadm info, except that multiple device names can be specified. Instructions in 60-keyboard.hwdb should now actually work. udevadm(8) is updated, but it could use a bit more polishing. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82311
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.
2014-07-31man: add udev.conf(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
We generally have separate man pages for all configuration files. In this case udev.conf was already described in systemd-udevd.service(8), but it was hard to find. Docbook makes it hard to add a .so link from a different section, so describe udev.conf in its own page.
2014-04-13udev: remove seqnum API and all assumptions about seqnumsKay Sievers
The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending. Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore when namespaces are involved.

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

This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes…

2012-11-17hwdb: revert hwdb.bin back to /etc/udevZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
> Kay: udev is early boot without /var. /var is entirely taboo for udev. This partially reverts commit ee623f0d0c04a9c8da4953ddc29862c8c4945458 (moving hwdb.bin is reverted, but the uninstall hook and cosmetic changes remain).
2012-11-16hwdb: use $(localstatedir)/lib/udev/hwdb.bin for the binary databaseZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It's not configuration, so it doesn't belong in udev. Also, remove the catalog when uninstalling udev.

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.
