* docs: various pages: Use consistent terminology (set-user-ID and set-group-ID)Michael Kerrisk2016-12-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Use consistent terminology for set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits. There's much inconsistency in the pages. "suid", "set-user-identifier", "setuid". Stick with one terminology, "set-user-ID" and set-grout-ID, as suggested in man-pages(7). Signed-off-by: <mtk.man-pages@gmail.com>

Thanks to Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi> for an initial skeleton implementation.

* docs: add note to wall(1) about sessions which will not get messageSami Kerola2013-08-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Sessions that has in utmp data ut_line begining with ':' are skipped. This is done to avoid write errors to devices such as '/dev/:0'. For example wdm is reported to to generate such utmp line. Perhaps in future this code should be revalidated. If an utmp data contains broken device lines it might be best inform user with a error message, rather than skipping silently suspicious device entries. Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>

* docs: also uniformize headers and footers of troff-formatted man pagesBenno Schulenberg2011-08-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Add two spaces as the required third argument of the date line to make the specified date get used instead of today's date. Incorporate the section number into the page title, then use an empty section number, so that specifying an explicit section/volume name will work.

Also improve here and there the one-line program description. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
