Manual pages: Standardize on AUTHORS as section title There is quite some value (in terms of readability and user expectations) if consistent names are used for the sections within manual pages. This patch is one of a series to bring about this consistency. In the Linux man-pages project, I long ago did away with the AUTHOR(S) section, but I realize some projects like to keep this. But, let's make sure that the section is consistently titled across pages. Currently we have AUTHOR (47) or AUTHORS (41). Let's standardize on the latter (which is also what is suggested in man-pages(7)). Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

Manual pages: order AUTHORS / COPYRIGHT / SEE ALSO / AVAILABILITY consistently There is value in ensuring that manual page sections use consistently named sections, as far as possible, and also that sections have a consistent order within manual pages. This is one of a series of patches to place manual page sections in a consistent order. In this patch, we ensure that the AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, SEE ALSO, and AVAILABILITY sections are always placed at the end of the page. Testing that no gross editing mistake (causing accidental loss or addition of text) was performed as follows: $ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > a [Apply patch] $ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > b $ diff a b $ echo $? 0 Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
