Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8b9f092112 man: fix issues reported by the manpage-l10n project
Fixes #25780.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

> Man page: crypttab.5
> Issue 1:  Missing fullstop

Same.

Fixed.

Fixed.

This is a bit awkward, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

> Man page: kernel-install.8
> Issue:    methods a fallback → methods fallback

It was correct, but I added a comma to make the sense clearer.

> Man page: loader.conf.5
> Issue 1:  secure boot variables → Secure Boot variables
> Issue 2:  one → one for (multiple times)
>
> "Supported secure boot variables are one database for authorized images, one "

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

> Man page: loader.conf.5
> Issue:    systemd-boot → B<systemd-boot>(7)

Fixed.

> Man page: logind.conf.5
> Issue:    systemd-logind → B<systemd-logind>(8)

We use <filename>systemd-logind</> on subsequent references… I think that's good enough.

> Man page: nss-myhostname.8
> Issue:    B<getent> → B<getent>(1)

Fixed.

> Man page: nss-resolve.8
> Issue:    B<systemd-resolved> → B<systemd-resolved>(8)

The first reference does this, subsequent are shorter.

> Man page: os-release.5
> Issue:    Portable Services → Portable Services Documentation?

Updated.

> Man page: pam_systemd_home.8
> Issue:    auth and account use "reason", while session and password do not?

Reworded.

> Man page: portablectl.1
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: repart.d.5
> Issue:    The partition → the partition

Fixed.

> Man page: repart.d.5
> Issue:    B<systemd-repart> → B<systemd-repart>(8)

The first reference does this. I also change this one, because it's pretty far down in the text.

> Man page: systemd.1
> Issue:    kernel command line twice?
>
> "Takes a boolean argument\\&. If false disables importing credentials from "
> "the kernel command line, qemu_fw_cfg subsystem or the kernel command line\\&."

Apparently this was fixed already.

> Man page: systemd-boot.7
> Issue:    enrollement → enrollment

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-cryptenroll.1
> Issue:    multiple cases: any specified → the specified

Reworded.

> Man page: systemd-cryptenroll.1
> Issue:    If this this → If this

Fixed tree-wide.

> Man page: systemd-cryptsetup-generator.8
> Issue:    and the initrd → and in the initrd

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

> Man page: systemd.directives.7
> Issue:    Why are these two quoted (but not others)?
>
> "B<\\*(Aqh\\*(Aq>"
>
> B<\\*(Aqs\\*(Aq>"
>
> "B<\\*(Aqy\\*(Aq>"

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue 1:  B<at>(1p) → B<at>(1)
> Issue 2:  B<crontab>(1p) → B<crontab>(1)

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:    B<select()> → B<select>(2)

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:   qemu → B<qemu>(1)

The man page doesn't seem to be in any of the canonical places on the web.
I added a link to online docs.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:    variable → variables

Seems to be fixed already.

> Man page: systemd-integritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    systemd-integritysetup-generator → B<systemd-integritysetup-generator>

I changed <filename> to <command>.

> Man page: systemd-integritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    superfluous comma at the end

Already fixed.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1
> Issue:    (see B<--pcr-bank=>) below → (see B<--pcr-bank=> below)

Reworded.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1
> Issue:    =PATH> → =>I<PATH>

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1.po
> Issue:    B<--bank=DIGEST> → B<--bank=>I<DIGEST>

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.netdev.5
> Issue:    os the → on the

Appears to have been fixed already.

> Man page: systemd.netdev.5
> Issue:    Onboard → On-board (as in previous string)

Updated.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    B<systemd-networkd> -> B<systemd-networkd>(8)

First reference does this, subsequent do not.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    B<netlabelctl> → B<netlabelctl>(8)

First reference does this, subsequent do not.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    Missing verb (aquired? configured?) in the half sentence starting with "or by a "

I dropped the comma.

> Man page: systemd-nspawn.1
> Issue:    All host users outside of that range → All other host users

Reworded.

> # FIXME no effect → no effect\\&.
> #. type: Plain text
> #: archlinux debian-unstable fedora-rawhide mageia-cauldron opensuse-tumbleweed
> msgid ""
> "Whichever ID mapping option is used, the same mapping will be used for users "
> "and groups IDs\\&. If B<rootidmap> is used, the group owning the bind "
> "mounted directory will have no effect"

A period is added. Not sure if there's some other issue.

> Man page: systemd-oomd.service.8
> Issue:    B<systemd> → B<systemd>(1)

Done.

> Man page: systemd.path.5
> Issue 1:  B<systemd.exec>(1) → B<systemd.exec>(5)
> Issue 2:  This section does not (yet?) exist

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue 1:  indicate phases into TPM2 PCR 11 ??
> Issue 2: Colon at the end of the paragraph?

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue:    final boot phase → final shutdown phase?

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue:    for the the → for the

Fixed tree-wide.

> Man page: systemd-portabled.service.8
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-pstore.service.8
> Issue:    Here and the following paragraphs: . → \\&. // Upstream: What does this comment mean? // You normally write \\&. for a full dot (full stop etc.); here you write only "." (i.e. a plain dot).
>
> "and we look up \"localhost\", nss-dns will send the following queries to "

Looks all OK to me.

> Man page: systemd.resource-control.5
> Issue:    Missing closing bracket after link to Control Groups version 1

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-sysext.8
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: systemd.timer.5
> Issue 1:  B<systemd.exec>(1) → B<systemd.exec>(5)
> Issue 2:  This section does not (yet?) exist

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.unit.5
> Issue:    that is → that are

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-veritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    systemd-veritysetup-generator → B<systemd-veritysetup-generator>
>
 > "systemd-veritysetup-generator implements B<systemd.generator>(7)\\&."

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-volatile-root.service.8
> Issue:    initrdyes → Initrd

Fixed.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue:    : → \\&. (As above in TRANSFER)

Updated.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue:    some → certain

Updated.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue 1:  i\\&.e\\& → I\\&.e\\&

Fixed.

> Issue 2:  the image → the system

"image" seems correct.

> Man page: tmpfiles.d.5
> Issue:    systemd-tmpfiles → B<systemd-tmpfiles>(8)

Updated.

<title>Description</title>
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal>.path</literal> encodes information about a path
monitored by systemd, for path-based activation.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options specific to
this unit type. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common
configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
[Install] sections. The path specific configuration options are
configured in the [Path] section.</para>
<para>For each path file, a matching unit file must exist,
describing the unit to activate when the path changes. By default,
a service by the same name as the path (except for the suffix) is
activated. Example: a path file <filename>foo.path</filename>
activates a matching service <filename>foo.service</filename>. The
unit to activate may be controlled by <varname>Unit=</varname>
(see below).</para>
<para>Internally, path units use the
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>inotify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
API to monitor file systems. Due to that, it suffers by the same
limitations as inotify, and for example cannot be used to monitor
files or directories changed by other machines on remote NFS file
systems.</para>
<para>When a service unit triggered by a path unit terminates (regardless whether it exited successfully
or failed), monitored paths are checked immediately again, and the service accordingly restarted
instantly. As protection against busy looping in this trigger/start cycle, a start rate limit is enforced
on the service unit, see <varname>StartLimitIntervalSec=</varname> and
<varname>StartLimitBurst=</varname> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Unlike
other service failures, the error condition that the start rate limit is hit is propagated from the
service unit to the path unit and causes the path unit to fail as well, thus ending the loop.</para>

<varname>Before=</varname> on <filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure that path units are terminated
cleanly prior to system shutdown. Only path units involved with early boot or late system shutdown should

<title>Options</title>
<para>Path unit files may include [Unit] and [Install] sections, which are described in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Path unit files must include a [Path] section, which carries information about the path or paths it
monitors. The options specific to the [Path] section of path units are the following:</para>
<variablelist class='unit-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>PathExists=</varname></term>
<term><varname>PathExistsGlob=</varname></term>
<term><varname>PathChanged=</varname></term>

<term><varname>DirectoryNotEmpty=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Defines paths to monitor for certain changes:
<varname>PathExists=</varname> may be used to watch the mere
existence of a file or directory. If the file specified
exists, the configured unit is activated.
<varname>PathExistsGlob=</varname> works similarly, but checks
for the existence of at least one file matching the globbing
pattern specified. <varname>PathChanged=</varname> may be used
to watch a file or directory and activate the configured unit
whenever it changes. It is not activated on every write to the
watched file but it is activated if the file which was open
for writing gets closed. <varname>PathModified=</varname> is
similar, but additionally it is activated also on simple
writes to the watched file.
<varname>DirectoryNotEmpty=</varname> may be used to watch a
directory and activate the configured unit whenever it
contains at least one file.</para>
<para>The arguments of these directives must be absolute file
system paths.</para>
<para>Multiple directives may be combined, of the same and of
different types, to watch multiple paths. If the empty string
is assigned to any of these options, the list of paths to
watch is reset, and any prior assignments of these options
will not have any effect.</para>

<varname>PathExists=</varname> and
<varname>PathExistsGlob=</varname>) or a directory already is
not empty (in case of <varname>DirectoryNotEmpty=</varname>)
at the time the path unit is activated, then the configured
unit is immediately activated as well. Something similar does
not apply to <varname>PathChanged=</varname> and
<varname>PathModified=</varname>.</para>
<para>If the path itself or any of the containing directories
