References to functions should be noted like function() with the
trailing parens. The POD converters know how to format these sorts of
references appropriately. References to other sections in the same page
- should be given as L<SECTION>.
+ should be given as L<SECTION>. Man pages for all other AFS commands or
+ file formats referenced in the page should be listed in the SYNOPSIS.
+ List each reference on its own line for easier addition of other
+ references later, but don't put blank lines between them. Don't forget
+ the commas at the end of each line but the last.
Command and output examples should be indented three spaces. Commands
entered by the user should be given on a line beginning with %. If the
the bug number so that I'm aware of it, as I don't always notice new
bugs.
+ You can test your new POD documentation by running the check-pod script
+ in this directory. (And check other people's documentation and find any
+ problems that have crept in.)

- fs newalias
fs rxstatpeer
fs rxstatproc
fs setcbaddr
kseal
- pts interactive
- pts quit

- pts source
read_tape
restorevol
rmtsysd
vldb_convert
- vos changeloc
vos clone
vos convertROtoRW
vos copy
vos shadow
- vos size
vsys
- * The following configuration files have no man pages:
-
- CellAlias
-
* klog.krb, pagsh.krb, and tokens.krb need to be listed as alternative
names in the NAME line of the non-.krb man pages, links should be
installed on man page installation, and the behavior of pagsh.krb
* bos listkeys and the KeyFile man page assume that you're using the
kaserver.
+ * bos addkey should be marked deprecated in favor of using asetkey with
+ a keytab.
+
* I'm fairly sure that the fileserver man page no longer documents all
of the fileserver options.
