Global changes -------------- *.1p *.3p mtk, after a note by Andi Kleen and consultation with Andrew Josey. Add a PROLOG section: This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. *.0p *.1p *.3p mtk Some formatting fixes, mostly to get rid of unwanted spaces before "," in formatted output. * */* mtk Change all occurrences of my email address: s/mtk-manpages@xxxxxxx/mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx/ Many many pages Maxime Vaudequin I noticed useless use of macros with alternating formatting (".IR" instead ".I" which suffices, ".BR" instead ".B", etc.) because there is only one element. For example in ldconfig.8: -.BR /sbin/ldconfig +.B /sbin/ldconfig This is not very important, it only makes the sources more tidy. To find these I used: egrep '^\.(B[RI]|R[IB]|I[RB]) ([^ ]+|\"[^\"]\+\")$' And if you want to make these changes, you can use: sed 's/^\(\.[BRI]\)[BRI]\( \([^ ]\+\|\"[^\"]\+\"\)\)$/\1\2/g' -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance?
