From dfabee82be84f8ac80eede5d552058fbcdf4928d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 13:26:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Make doc/man7/ and doc/internal/man3/ conform with man-pages(7) It's all in the details, from man-pages(7): Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions ... Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics. ... Formatting conventions (general) ... Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold. Exception: don't boldface NULL. ...
