The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
This adds a new pair of API calls sd_bus_set_close_on_exit() and
sd_bus_get_close_on_exit(). They control whether an sd_bus object
attached to a an sd-event loop shall automatically be flushed/closed
when the event loop goes down. Usually that's a good thing, except for
very few cases where the bus connection is longer living than the event
loop it is attached on. Specifically, this is the case for nspawn, where
we run the event loop only while the container is up, but afterwards
still want to be able to use the bus connection.
sd_bus_message{get_type,is_signal,is_method_call,is_method_error} get one man
page.
sd_bus_message_{set,get}_{destination,path,interface,member,sender} are put in
the second one.
Use <literallayout> to keep each reference on a separate line. With all the
pages jumbled together into a paragraph, it is quite hard to find anything in
that list.
Also add the missing pages to the list. And remove the nonexistent ones — not
much point in advertisting pages that haven't been written yet.
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
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.
And while ware at it, also drop some references to kdbus, and stop claiming
sd-bus wasn't stable yet. Also order man page references in the main sd-bus man
page alphabetically.
We have 126 broken links to sd-bus.html, it's nice to fix that.
Current version is mostly a stub, with a long list of links to other
pages. I think that's fine, especially that sd-bus might evolve
quite a bit before it is made public.
Not all of linked pages are written. Still missing:
sd_bus_can_send
sd_bus_get_name_creds
sd_bus_get_owner_creds
sd_bus_message_can_send
sd_bus_message_get_creds
sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization
sd_bus_send
sd_bus_set_address
sd_bus_set_description
sd_bus_start
sd_event_set_prepare
sd-device
systemd.busname
