I was reading curl_unescape(3) and I noticed that there was an extra
space after the open parenthesis in the SYNOPSIS; I removed the extra
space.
I also ran a few grep -r commands to find and remove extra spaces
after '(' in other files, and to find and replace uses of `T*' instead
of `T *'. Some of the instances of `T*` where unnecessary casts that I
removed.
I also fixed a comment that was misaligned in CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION.3.
And I fixed some formatting inconsistencies: in curl_unescape(3), all
function parameter were mentioned with bold text except length, that was
mentioned as 'length'; and, in curl_easy_unescape(3), all parameters
were mentioned in bold text except url that was italicised. Now they are
all mentioned in bold.
Documentation is not very consistent in how function parameter are
formatted: many pages italicise them, and others display them in bold
text; but I think it makes sense to at least be consistent with
formatting within the same page.
Closes#11027
- remove the version numbers
- simplify the texts
The date and version number will be put there for releases when maketgz
runs the updatemanpages.pl script.
Closes#11029
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.
Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.
Closes#8062
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.
Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.
Closes#7904
Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings
as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs
refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a
single highly unscientific poll on twitter).
