Waiting for maintainer's response (Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet.ac.ru>)


Comment 2 Pekka Savola 2001-06-20 20:21:44 UTC
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.




Comment 3 Pekka Savola 2001-06-20 20:23:30 UTC
(btw, if you want what I did, just email me; I did global options, ip link, ip address and started on ip route)


Comment 4 Pekka Savola 2001-07-06 20:54:49 UTC
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.

Comment 6 Mike McLean 2002-03-04 21:48:27 UTC
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?

Comment 7 Michele Baldessari 2002-03-05 11:14:03 UTC
FYI: Over at lartc.org they made some manpages for the tc utils :

Comment 8 Michael K. Johnson 2002-03-05 16:37:45 UTC
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.

Comment 9 Phil Knirsch 2002-03-15 00:24:03 UTC
Updated to latest stable release and added a very simple manpage.

Available via rawhide real soon now(tm).

Read ya, Phil
