* Docs: move option naming to howto-contribute.txtJ William Piggott2017-06-241-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | Creating and naming options is not done when writing usage(). A contributor may not even read howto-usage-function.txt, but they should read howto-contribute.txt. So move option naming and change information there. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>

* docs: update howto-contribute.txtJ William Piggott2017-05-311-58/+65
| | | | | | | | | | This patch does not change any wording or grammar. It only shuffles the order of things and adds a table of contents. For example: it moves coding related bullet points into the Coding Style Chapter; it groups email related Chapters together, and so fourth. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>

* docs: add non-return function and if shorthand tipsSami Kerola2011-09-171-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Non-return functions should not be combined with `else' clause. The if shorthands `var = e ? t : f;' need to fit to single line, and if that does not look good use normal "if else" syntax. Both tips are mentioned in email bellow. http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg05152.html Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
