It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<para><command>systemd-cat</command> may be used to
|
|
connect the standard input and output of a process to the

journal, or as a filter tool in a shell pipeline to
|
|
pass the output the previous pipeline element
|
|
generates to the journal.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If no parameter is passed,
|
|
<command>systemd-cat</command> will write
|
|
everything it reads from standard input (stdin) to the journal.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If parameters are passed, they are executed as
|
|
command line with standard output (stdout) and standard
|
|
error output (stderr) connected to the journal, so
|
|
that all it writes is stored in the journal.</para>

<example>
|
|
<title>Invoke a program</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This calls <filename noindex='true'>/bin/ls</filename>
|
|
with standard output and error connected to the
|
|
journal:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting># systemd-cat ls</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>Usage in a shell pipeline</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This builds a shell pipeline also
|
|
invoking <filename>/bin/ls</filename> and
|
|
writes the output it generates to the
|
|
journal:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting># ls | systemd-cat</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>Even though the two examples have very similar
|
|
effects the first is preferable since only one process
|
|
is running at a time, and both stdout and stderr are
|
|
captured while in the second example, only stdout is
|
|
captured.</para>
