Willem de Bruijn dbb4f7516b packet.7: Document fanout, ring, and auxiliary options 
The packet socket manual page does not list all socket options.

This patch adds descriptions of the common packet socket options
  PACKET_AUXDATA, PACKET_FANOUT, PACKET_RX_RING, PACKET_STATISTICS,
  PACKET_TX_RING

and the ring-specific options
  PACKET_LOSS, PACKET_RESERVE, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, PACKET_VERSION

It does not yet add descriptions for
  PACKET_COPY_THRESH, PACKET_HDRLEN, PACKET_ORIGDEV,
  PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF, PACKET_TX_TIMESTAMP, PACKET_VNET_HDR

It tries to balance being informative with exposing kernel detail
that is unlikely to be used by most readers or that may change
frequently. For implementation details, the manpage points to the
documentation in kernel Documentation/networking. Let me know if
options should be added or removed.

Source: PACKET_FANOUT, PACKET_RX_RING and PACKET_VERSION are in
/tools/testing/net/psock_fanout.c in the latest Linux kernel source
tree. PACKET_STATISTICS was in the first version of that test.
PACKET_TX_RING I have used elsewhere. The other options are based
on reading kernel code.

 [Very minor fixups. -dborkman]

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.
