Wordsmith syslogd(8)

Description

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.
    • prefixlen is the appropriate terminology for IPv6.
    • mask/prefixlen is optional, not required (as noted later on in the section).
    • 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.
