* docs: replace FTP by HTTPS in kernel.org URLsSébastien Helleu2016-12-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | The links to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/ are replaced by https://www.kernel.org/. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* mkfs: drop hardcoded search pathMike Frysinger2015-04-271-14/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | | Rather than maintain a hardcoded search path for looking up tools and override the user's PATH env setting, respect whatever the user has. This matches the convention of just about every other tool out there. It might break on systems that don't have /sbin in their PATH and they try to run /sbin/mkfs directly, but so be it.

* docs: remove obsolete and unneeded comments from man-page filesBenno Schulenberg2015-01-121-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | Transform some of them into copyright lines. Also fix three header lines and snip some trailing whitespace. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* docs: don't use bold or italics for "[option]" in synopsis of man pagesBenno Schulenberg2014-12-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | As per the convention shown in Documentation/howto-man-page.txt. Also make a few other tiny adjustments along the way. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* various: erase all traces of the long-obsolete xiafsBenno Schulenberg2014-07-281-2/+1Star
| | | | | | | | The xiafs filesystem was removed from the kernel fifteen years ago, and any kernel that contained it reached end of life ten years ago. It's time to stop mentioning it in the mount man page and elsewhere. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* mkfs: Some typographical changes to the manualBjarni Ingi Gislason2014-04-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | - changed to \- if it means an option A full stop (.), that begins or ends a string, protected with \& No line adjustment used for section "SEE ALSO" (.na/.ad) Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* mkfs: mark this wrapper as DEPRECATEDKarel Zak2014-02-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Theodore Ts'o: I'll add that I've never been convinced that the mkfs front end is all that useful. It's probably better for people to explicitly run /sbin/mkfs.xfs, /sbin/mkfs.ext4, etc.., so you don't have to worry about which options get passed down to the file system specific mkfs program, and which ones are interpreted by /sbin/mkfs --- and I don't believe /sbin/mkfs adds enough (err, any?) value that using "/sbin/mkfs -t xxx" vs "/sbin/mkfs.xxx" makes any sense whatsoever. ... and I absolutely agree.

* fix mkfs --verbose and man pagePhillip Susi2014-02-101-6/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | mkfs did not actually accept the long form --verbose option. Also the man page seemed to indicate that version/verbose/help options were passed to the filesystem specific utility when this is not the case. Signed-off-by: Phillip Susi <psusi@ubuntu.com>
* docs: standardize the phrases for --help and --version in all man pagesBenno Schulenberg2013-10-151-1/+1

* mkfs: indicate that specifying fs-type and fs-options are independentBenno Schulenberg2013-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | Also standardize and improve the help text, and slice it into strips for ease of later translation maintenance. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* docs: tweak the formatting and wording of several disk-utils man pagesBenno Schulenberg2011-08-291-10/+12

* docs: uniformize the header and footer lines in man pagesBenno Schulenberg2011-08-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration" at the top center. Also improve here and there the one-line program description. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* mkfs: fix small formatting issues in man pageBenno Schulenberg2011-08-081-28/+25Star
| | | | | | | Also spell "filesystem" consistently as one word -- this makes things clearer when the word is used as an adjective. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* docs: add long options to mkfs.8Sami Kerola2011-06-291-24/+20Star
| | | | | | | | Two switches -c and -l where removed from manual, they might be supported by the real file system builder but not necessarily. The -v option was also corrected to be -V. Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
