Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd.
So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became
baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before
in my English-mother-tongue life.
Some quick Googling turned up a reference:
<http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html>
I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but
English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used
exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g.
"the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-,
respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence
"Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and
sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker.
This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and
replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully,
grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing
"resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably
just do in the future.
The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I
don't feel privileged to correct.

(SOCK_STREAM), datagram (SOCK_DGRAM),
or sequential packet
(SOCK_SEQPACKET) socket, respectively. The address
2010-07-02 01:49:50 +04:00
can be written in various formats:</para>
<para > If the address starts with a
slash (/), it is read as file system
socket in the AF_UNIX socket
family.</para>
<para > If the address starts with an
2011-12-08 20:32:09 +04:00
at symbol (@) it is read as abstract
2010-07-02 01:49:50 +04:00
namespace socket in the AF_UNIX
family. The @ is replaced with a NUL
character before binding. For details
see
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > unix</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 7</manvolnum> </citerefentry> .</para>
<para > If the address string is a
single number it is read as port
2012-10-03 22:18:55 +04:00
number to listen on via
IPv6. Depending on the value of
<varname > BindIPv6Only=</varname> (see below) this
might result in the service being
available via both IPv6 and IPv4 (default) or
just via IPv6.
</para>
2010-07-02 01:49:50 +04:00
<para > If the address string is a
string in the format v.w.x.y:z it is
read as IPv4 specifier for listening
on an address v.w.x.y on a port
z.</para>
<para > If the address string is a
string in the format [x]:y it is read
2012-10-03 22:18:55 +04:00
as IPv6 address x on a port y. Note
that this might make the service
available via IPv4, too, depending on
the <varname > BindIPv6Only=</varname>
setting (see below).

(i.e. <varname > ListenSequentialPacket=</varname> )
is only available for AF_UNIX

when used for IP sockets refers to TCP
sockets, SOCK_DGRAM
(i.e. <varname > ListenDatagram=</varname> )
to UDP.</para>
<para > These options may be specified
more than once in which case incoming
2013-01-17 05:27:06 +04:00
traffic on any of the sockets will
trigger service activation, and all
listed sockets will be passed to the
service, regardless whether there is
incoming traffic on them or not. If
the empty string is assigned to any of
these options, the list of addresses
to listen on is reset, all prior uses
of any of these options will have no
effect.</para>
<para > If an IP address is used here,
it is often desirable to listen on it
2010-07-02 01:49:50 +04:00

regardless whether it will be up and

Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd.
So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became
baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before
in my English-mother-tongue life.
Some quick Googling turned up a reference:
<http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html>
I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but
English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used
exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g.
"the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-,
respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence
"Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and
sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker.
This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and
replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully,
grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing
"resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably
just do in the future.
The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I
don't feel privileged to correct.
