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)
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)
Stop importing non-sensical kernel-exported variables. All
parameters in the kernel command line are exported to the
initial environment of PID1, but suppressed if they are
recognized by kernel built-in code. The EFI booted kernel
will add further kernel-internal things which do not belong
into userspace.
The passed original environ data of the process is not touched
and preserved across re-execution, to allow external reading of
/proc/self/environ for process properties like container*=.
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'.]
A new config file /etc/systemd/sleep.conf is added.
It is parsed by systemd-sleep and logind. The strings written
to /sys/power/disk and /sys/power/state can be configured.
This allows people to use different modes of suspend on
systems with broken or special hardware.
Configuration is shared between systemd-sleep and logind
to enable logind to answer the question "can the system be
put to sleep" as correctly as possible without actually
invoking the action. If the user configured systemd-sleep
to only use 'freeze', but current kernel does not support it,
logind will properly report that the system cannot be put
to sleep.

SYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE and USER_CONFIG_FILE defines were removed
since they were used in only a few places and with the
addition of /etc/systemd/sleep.conf it becomes easier to just
append the name of each file to the dir name.
Using the signal name to put systemd in debug mode with bash results in:
$ kill -s SIGRTMIN+22 1
bash: kill: SIGRTMIN+22: invalid signal specification
whereas this works:
$ kill -s SIGRTMAX-8 1
/usr/bin/kill understands both signal names, so just change them to the
bash names.
In other cases where multiple directories are searched for unit files,
the list of directories is described in the man page describing the
format. I think this makes sense too in case of systemd directories,
since the systemd(1) manpage already has an overview of many different
topics.
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.

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
8bd3b8620c
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd.
So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became
baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before
in my English-mother-tongue life.
Some quick Googling turned up a reference:
<http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html>
I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but
English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used
exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g.
"the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-,
respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence
"Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and
sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker.
This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and
replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully,
grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing
"resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably
just do in the future.
The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I
don't feel privileged to correct.

systemd --version mirrors systemctl --version:
$ ./systemd --version
systemd 186
other
+PAM +LIBWRAP +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +SYSVINIT -LIBCRYPTSETUP
This information can be retrieved by other means (systemctl, etc.),
but it's easier for a newbie if 'systemd --version' says something
useful. And 'systemd --help' is already there, so let's complement
that with '--version'.
This option never made much sense. It was originally intended to make
sure that the usual startup output of sysv scripts goes to the terminal.
However, since SysV scripts started from a terminal would not output to
that terminal, but rather /dev/console this effect was more often than
not actually taking place. Nowadays systemd has much nicer boot time
status output than SysV which makes the sysv output redundant. Finally,
all output of services goes to the journal anyway, and is not lost.
Hence, let's drop this option, and simplify things a bit.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
Now that we have /dev/.run there's no need to use abstract namespace
sockets. So, let's move things to /dev/.run, to make things more easily
discoverable and improve compat with chroot() and fs namespacing.
