Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 3a54a15760 man: use same header for all files
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.

$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n  "http^gms' man/*.xml

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-run-generator</filename> is a generator
that reads the kernel command line and understands three
options:</para>
<para>If the <option>systemd.run=</option> option is specified and followed by a command line, a unit named
<filename>kernel-command-line.service</filename> is generated for it and booted into. The service has
<varname>Type=oneshot</varname> set, and has <varname>SuccessAction=exit</varname> and
<varname>FailureAction=exit</varname> configured by default, thus ensuring that the system is shut down as soon as
the command completes. The exit status of the command line is propagated to the invoking container manager, if
this applies (which might propagate this further, to the calling shell — e.g.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> does this). If
this option is used multiple times the unit file will contain multiple <varname>ExecStart=</varname> lines, to
execute all commands in order. The command is started as regular service, i.e. with
<varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> on. </para>
<para>Use <option>systemd.run_success_action=</option> and <option>systemd.run_failure_action=</option> to tweak
how to react to the process completing. In particular assigning <literal>none</literal> will leave the system
running after the command completes. For further details on supported arguments, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-run-generator</filename> implements

<title>Example</title>
<para>Use a command like the following to add a user to the user database inside a container run with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>:</para>
<programlisting># systemd-nspawn -D mycontainer -b systemd.run='"adduser test"'</programlisting>
<para>(Note the requirement for double quoting in the command line above. The first level of quoting ('') is
processed and removed by the command shell used to invoke <command>systemd-nspawn</command>. The second level of
quoting ("") is propagated to the kernel command line of the container and processed and removed by
<command>systemd-run-generator</command>. Both together make sure both words of the specified command line
<command>adduser test</command> end up in the generated unit file together and are neither split apart by the
command shell nor by the generator.)</para>
