From: Philippe Proulx Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 19:11:41 +0000 (-0400) Subject: man pages: use standard NAME format X-Git-Tag: v2.7.0-rc1~41 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=94ffb05d6777efc0c40394d3df44a04feed92953 man pages: use standard NAME format As per man(7): The only mandatory heading is NAME, which should be the first section and be followed on the next line by a one-line description of the program: .SH NAME item \- description It is extremely important that this format is followed, and that there is a backslash before the single dash which follows the item name. This syntax is used by the mandb(8) program to create a database of short descriptions for the whatis(1) and apropos(1) commands. Furthermore (lexgrog(1)): When using the traditional man macro set, a correct NAME section looks something like this: .SH NAME foo \- program to do something Some manual pagers require the ‘\-’ to be exactly as shown; mandb is more tolerant, but for compatibility with other systems it is nevertheless a good idea to retain the backslash.
