Description

First step of a major overhaul of this chapter. Split into multiple
commits to make it slightly easier on the translation teams.

  • Add a standard synopsis
  • Remove references to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and FreeBSD 1.1. Document the behavior of 4.x / 5.x and ignore the paleontology.
  • Move <indexterm>s around so that printed output looks better.
  • Reference other chapters in the Handbook instead of duplicating information.
  • Rephrase many sentences to be more concise.
  • <filename> -> <command>
  • Refer to the text as "this chapter" instead of "this document"
  • Refer to manual pages consistently.
  • Turns a couple of question and answer entries into more formal paragraphs.
  • Don't intersperse example commands inside paragraphs as often. Instead, talk about something and then provide an example.
  • Mark up contributors in <sectNinfo>.
  • Remove synopsis-like information from one of the individual sections, since this has been expanded at the front of the chapter.
  • Mark up keys in <keycode>
  • Remove acknowledgments section. This is inappropriate for a book chapter and the acknowledged person has been moved to the <sectNinfo> as an additional contributor.
  • Remove "information integrated from FAQ", that describes much of our documentation.
  • Remove troubleshooting entry about needing to be in a specific group to run tip or cu, since this is no longer the case.
