This gives a facelift for the mkimage man page, bringing it in line with the style perscribed by man-pages(7) and groff_man_style(7). I have tried to remove typographical and grammatical errors and inconsistencies wherever possible. The man page now both looks and feels closer to other Linux man pages. As a bonus, I also added a man page for dumpimage in the same style.
To address the impending exhaustion of short options, this also adds long options for each short option. Changes in v3: - Clarify intent in commit message - Document option defaults - Document the various content changes in the commit message - Fix typo in commit message - Note that "legacy" images are only legacy for U-Boot. In particular, mkimage supports many other image formats using the same syntax which are decidedly not "legacy." - Remove "legacy" wording from synopsis - Remove usage of "legacy" in section headings - Reorder "legacy" synopsis first - Use multiple .BRs for the -f auto option list Changes in v2: - Add long options - Better document multi images - Document -h and -V - Ensure comments are requests - Escape minus signs in examples - Fix -B not being bolded in the description for -R - Fix extra quote in -E synopsis - Fix spacing for -F - Further document -o and -R - Indent things more robustly - Italicize parameter for -d - Make lists of valid algos bold - Rearrange more options - Remove spaces around pipes - Rename first subsection to "General options" - Use escape-sequences for options width all three of B/I/R. This renders better with mandoc. - Use paired quotation marks Sean Anderson (14): doc: mkimage: Use standard style for synopsis doc: mkimage: Use empty request instead of blank lines doc: mkimage: Reformat examples doc: mkimage: Regularize option documentation doc: mkimage: Use subsection macro doc: mkimage: Rearrange/remove some options doc: mkimage: Use correct capitalization for NAME doc: mkimage: Edit options for style and consistency doc: mkimage: Add BUGS section doc: mkimage: Add SEE ALSO section doc: mkimage: Remove AUTHORS section mkimage: Add long options doc: mkimage: Further document -o and -R doc: Add man page for dumpimage doc/dumpimage.1 | 103 +++++ doc/mkimage.1 | 977 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- tools/mkimage.c | 45 ++- 3 files changed, 854 insertions(+), 271 deletions(-) create mode 100644 doc/dumpimage.1 -- 2.35.1
