From 98f23e10cc1d65da6a7f6c7e4f5665d7afc27a86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garrett D'Amore Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 08:40:17 -0700 Subject: fixes #286 nng_pair0_open (and all others) need man page fixes #279 consider restructuring man sections This represents a rather significant rework, and major editing effort, for the entire set of manual pages. All of the pages now have a section number in their filename; this assists in some other tooling, particularly ebook generation as every link needs to be programmatically modified when combined into an ebook. Section 5 is introduced, and populated with pages for the main types, and all options are now documented. Numerous errors have been corrected, including rewriting certain portions such as the header section of the surveyor protocol. Much work has been done to facilitate index generation, although certainly more work remains here. Every internal link within these pages now resolves; there are no more dead links.
