Description of Problem: Man pages for files like static-routes and other sysconfig files are missing. All configuration files should be explained somewhere in a normal place. Man pages are the normal place and this is one of the reasons "Linux" and RHL in particular are ridiculed. (Mostly by the proud BSD people =) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All? How Reproducible: 100% =) Steps to Reproduce: 1. man -k static-routes 2. man networks 3. Actual Results: static-routes: nothing appropriate No manual entry for networks Expected Results: Informative manuals for vital configuration files. Additional Information: Having gui tools that no-one uses is not an excuse. =) I can figure these out by reading the scripts but I view this as a flaw anyway.
These files are documented in the initscripts doc directory, there are no man pages.
confirming this as *still missing in RH 8.0*
Created attachment 96263 [details] Man pages for files in /etc/sysconfig
Sorry about not responding earlier to the mail... One thing that could be useful here is to generate docs as xml and then genreate man pages from that. Not sure how much extra work that would be, but it would then allow autogeneration of both manpages and the sysconfig.txt meta document.
