6 daysman/: SYNOPSIS: Don't highlight forward declarations of function parametersHEADmasterAlejandro Colomar1-2/+2
Previously, many people confused these for actual parameters, since it's hard to distinguish a ',' from ';'. By removing bold/italics from these, it will be easier to distinguish them. The cases have been found with a script: $ find -type f \ | xargs grep -l '^\.TH ' \ | sort \ | xargs mansect SYNOPSIS \ | man /dev/stdin \ | grep -e '^[^ ]' -e '[^ ]( [^ )].*[^)];' \ | less; Reported-by: Mark Naughton <mnaughto@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Mark Harris <mark.hsj@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mark Naughton <mnaughto@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>

2025-05-06man/, CREDITS: Move in-source contribution records to CREDITSAlejandro Colomar1-10/+0
This information is better placed in the git logs, not in the source code itself. For people interested in the old history of pages, before we used git, they will probably look at old versions of these pages, like for example man-pages-1.70, or the 'prehistory' branch, and there they'll find these notes. Keep the names and emails of contributors in a new CREDITS file.

2022-09-05src.mk, All pages: Move man* to man/Alejandro Colomar1-0/+337
The root of the repository is becoming a bit overpopulated and unorganized, due to the recent addition of more mandirs, and more informative and configuration files too. Let's create a specific mandir <man/> that contains the mandirs <man[1-8]*>. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com>
