Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
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?

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function>
formats a 128-bit ID as a character string. It expects
the ID and a string array capable of storing 33
characters. The ID will be formatted as 32 lowercase
hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a
<constant>NUL</constant> byte.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_from_string()</function>
implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33
character string with 32 hexadecimal digits (either
lowercase or uppercase, terminated by
<constant>NUL</constant>) and parses them back into a
128-bit ID returned in
<parameter>ret</parameter>. Alternatively, this call
can also parse a 37-character string with a 128-bit ID
formatted as RFC UUID.</para>
<para>For more information about the
<literal>sd_id128_t</literal> type see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Note
that these calls operate the same way on all
architectures, i.e. the results do not depend on
endianness.</para>
<para>When formatting a 128-bit ID into a string, it is
often easier to use a format string for
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
is easily done using the
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> macros. For
more information see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> always
succeeds and returns a pointer to the string array
passed in. <function>sd_id128_from_string</function>
returns 0 on success, in which case
<parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in, or a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_id128_to_string()</function>
and <function>sd_id128_from_string()</function> interfaces are
available as a shared library, which can be compiled and
linked to with the <literal>libsystemd</literal> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
