From: Tomohiro Kusumi <tkusumi@xxxxxxxxxx> The man page hasn't been in sync with many of the updates made for HOWTO. These commits update the man page based on what HOWTO has, where each commit corresponds to a single section (instead of updating with commit-to-commit basis). The man page being in sync with HOWTO also makes it easier to make changes, whenever HOWTO is updated in the future. The goal is to be in sync with HOWTO without being too verbose for a man page. Note that they don't include contents that do not exist in HOWTO (i.e. I didn't newly create anything). Also note these are only beginning part of the man page. These commits include 1. Import updates made only for HOWTO (diffs), unless the changes are too long/verbose to be mentioned in the man page. 2. Replace the entire section or paragraph with the corresponding one in HOWTO (partly as a result of 1), if these two are essencially saying the same thing with small modification, so that we don't see two different contents in two documents that are almost the same. 3. Make some small changes when above two are imported, such as using directives, removal of double white spaces, removal of expressions that don't fit in well with a man page (e.g. This section describes...). 4. Backport some small changes from the man page to HOWTO, which seem to have been made when the man page was first introduced. These are mostly minor fixups.
