- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate
- Add some comments. It might be getting a little unclear what's going on.
- Make it useful as non-root.
Also, some new features taken from FreeBSD. The last two are not well
tested yet:
- Specifing log files on the command line limits operation to those files.
- Add cyclic time specification for periodic trimming.
- Add restricted ISO-8601 time specification for periodic trimming.
- Code cleanup.
- Better flowing English in manpage (in places).
- `-n' option has been removed (was mainly a debugging convenience, I think).
- Add `C' flag: create log file if one doesn't exist.
.Sh SEE ALSO
rather than:
.Sh "SEE ALSO"
The former is the correct form, and it makes a (barely persceptible)
difference in formatting for some output devices (e.g. 'ps').
matches that of syslogd(8). This is a slightly modified version of
the patch Thorsten Lockert supplied with PR #684.
Changed manpage to reflect the fact that we are using gzip instead
compress.
