Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5146e7e8ae man: add systemd-coredump(8) and a bunch of links 2014-07-13 21:11:07 -04:00
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
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?

Lennart Poettering 03ee5c38cb journald: move /dev/log socket to /run
This way we can make the socket also available for sandboxed apps that
have their own private /dev. They can now simply symlink the socket from
/dev.

Sebastian Thorarensen 40b71e89ba journald: add support for wall forwarding
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in
users (like wall).

Two options are added:
 * ForwardToWall (default yes)
 * MaxLevelWall (default emerg)
'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option
'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'.

This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending
emergency messages to all logged in users.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 6db2742802 man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.
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.

Jan Engelhardt 7964042405 man: wording and grammar updates
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)

Jason St. John e9dd9f9547 man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pages
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'.]

Lennart Poettering a24c64f03f journald: introduce new "systemd-journal" group and make it own the journal files
Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow
specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to
the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this.

"systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at
installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this
group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS.

This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to
members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since
these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the
system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably
need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts.

This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to
additional users or groups via fs ACLs.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek ccc9a4f9ff man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pages
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.

Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen bb31a4ac19 man: typo fixes
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

Make sure the man page titles are similar in style and capitalization so
that our man page index looks pretty.

Lennart Poettering cb07866b1b man: move header file man pages from section 7 to 3
This way we can include documentation about minor macros/inline function
within the introducionary man page in a sane way.
