rS314563: Wordsmith syslogd(8)
Summary

Wordsmith syslogd(8)

  • Clarify -p/-S options by using appropriate subject-verb modifiers (verb and modifiers suggested that the subject should have been singular).
  • Simplify/correct -a description:
    • Be more terse when describing IPv4 (the "usual dotted notation" isn't necessarily well understood by the reader). Being blunt and saying "IPv4 address" with an optional netmask is.
    • mask/prefixlen is optional, not required (as noted later on in the section).
    • prefixlen is the appropriate terminology for IPv6.
    • split up IPv4/IPv6 use so to clarify both forms.
    • Fix wordiness when describing the optional "service" specifier.
  • -T: Use "cannot" instead of "can't" [*].

Bump .Dd for the changes.

This is the only part that I'm not really pleased with. It would be groovy if someone more knowledgeable with mdoc could tell me the right directives to put the -a formats on separate lines while vertically aligning the description to the right :).

Looks good to me.
