Waiting for maintainer's response (Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet.ac.ru>) I've talked with Alexey on this; he has created lots of docs in *.ps form (%doc), and man pages aren't forthcoming. I started writing man page about ip(8), but only got about 1/3 way when I realized the syntax was so complex, it wouldn't be of much use; better just to create a short page with pointers to 'ip help' commands and the existing documentation. (btw, if you want what I did, just email me; I did global options, ip link, ip address and started on ip route) As mentioned in #30678, I'm attaching the beginnings of the page I was writing in case someone is interested. Created attachment 22909 [details]
beginnings of ip(8) man page. Sigh.
Still no man page.... Considering how important this utility is, it would seem to be worth someones time write a man page. For that matter, how hard would it be to build a man page from the tex source? FYI: Over at lartc.org they made some manpages for the tc utils : http://www.lartc.org/manpages/ Even a man page that only said "See the reference documents: ip reference: /usr/share/doc/iproute-2.2.4/ip-cref.ps" etc. would be helpful. Updated to latest stable release and added a very simple manpage. Available via rawhide real soon now(tm). Read ya, Phil |
