Kir Kolyshkin baf17bc4f2 Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO
In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those are divided by commas.
Every reference is on a separate line, and all lines but the last one should
end with comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in between
references, and mocked up an awk script to find similar places:

for f in man*/*; do awk '/^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ {sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next } /^\.(PP|SH)/ {sa=0; no=0; next} /^\.BR/ { if (sa==1) { print; if (no == 1) print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0 } } /^\.BR .*)$/ { if (sa==1) no=1; next } /\.\\"/ {next} /.*/ { if (sa==1) { print; next }}' $f; done | fgrep 'Missing comma'

This patch fixes all the places found by the above script.

Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO" section.
Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the
`Announce' file.

Install by copying to your favourite location.
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].


Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.

Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
 exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
 fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
 lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).

Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights.
All pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included.
