The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2), bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current one). This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple times in the past. Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are available in the same directory. v3: - Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS variable passed to rst2man. v2: - Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of passing a format string directly to the command.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========

|
|
on the system.
|
|
|
|
Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
|
|
stable and should not be depended upon.
