man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.

<title>Notes</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This interface is provided by the reference
|
|
implementation of APIs for controlling boot-time
|
|
read-ahead and distributed with the systemd
|
|
package. The algorithms it implements are simple, and
|
|
can easily be reimplemented in daemons if it is
|
|
important to support this interface without using the
|
|
reference implementation. See the respective function
|
|
man pages for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition, for details about the algorithms
|
|
check the liberally licensed reference implementation
|
|
sources:
|
|
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/readahead/sd-readahead.c"/>
|
|
and <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-readahead.h"/></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These APIs are implemented in the reference
|
|
implementation's drop-in
|
|
<filename>sd-readahead.c</filename> and
|
|
<filename>sd-readahead.h</filename> files. It is
|
|
recommended that applications consuming these APIs copy
|
|
the implementation into their source tree, either
|
|
verbatim or in excerpts. These interfaces are
|
|
currently not available in a dynamic library.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The functions provided by this interface become
|
|
NOPs when -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
|
|
compilation. In addition, if
|
|
<filename>sd-readhead.c</filename> is compiled on
|
|
non-Linux systems it becomes NOPs.</para>
