We have a common parser, but for the user it might be
completely unobvious that the same general rules apply
to all those files. Let's add a page about the basic syntax
so that the more specific pages don't have to repeat those
details.
Clarify the helper/checker terminology in the systemd-fsck@.service manpage to
make the description more clear about what is responsible for deciding if a filesystem
needs checking.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Things can fail, and we have no control over it:
- file system issues (immutable bits, file system errors, MAC refusals, etc)
- kernel refusing certain arguments when writing to /proc/sys or /sys
Let's add a new code for the case where we parsed configuration but failed
to execute it because of external errors.
Fixes#5387.
I kept the _SYSTEMD_UNIT= example because it is easy to understand and
not very verbose. _SYSTEMD_CGROUP has much longer entries which do not
fit well in the narrow man page. Instead, I added an explanation of what
-u is translated into.
Issue #6673 requests advice on backup strategy. But the right backup strategy
depends on many factors, too many to describe in a man page. So let's just
provide some general information which files are mutable and that it is always
safe to use/copy files.
Closes#6673.
Issue #6499 requests that a mention that those varibles can be set in the
environment is added. But the man page already says that. There isn't much
detail, but a man page does not need to and in this case should not include
all the details. Instead a note is added that those vars can be derived from
$DISPLAY.
Closes#6499.
We're moving towards just SPDX license identifiers, and the boilerplate
is especially annoying in a man page. Also adjust to the smaller indentation
to make the code fit better on a page.
man/.dir-locals is to keep indentation under control.
This makes it much easier to compile and run those examples, c.f. #7578.
v2:
- copy more of .dir-locals.el from the root to man/.dir-locals.el
(I though emacs would inherit from the one in the parent dir, but
it seems it just uses its own broken defaults, including
indent-tabs-mode by default.)
Support was killed in kernel 4.15 as well as ethtool 4.13.
Justification was lack of use by drivers and too much of a maintenance burden.

Also moved config_parse_warn_compat to conf-parser.[ch] to fix compile errors.
This makes users can configure DHCPv4 client with ClientIdentifier=duid-only.
If set so, then DHCP client sends only DUID as the client identifier.
This may not be RFC compliant, but some setups require this.
Closes#7828.
Suspend to Hibernate is a new sleep method that invokes suspend
for a predefined period of time before automatically waking up
and hibernating the system.
It's similar to HybridSleep however there isn't a performance
impact on every suspend cycle.
It's intended to use with systems that may have a higher power
drain in their supported suspend states to prevent battery and
data loss over an extended suspend cycle.
