This changeset contains two major changes:

  1. Convert man pages to mdoc macros from plain roff

The mdoc markup makes for a more semantic and less formatting heavy syntax

Includes a number of improvements:

  • List all options in alphabetic order
  • Split out the synopsis for commands that has to be run by themselves
  • Move the scsimon Usage helptext from the app to the man page
  • Corrections and updates of outdated information
  1. Reduce overly detailed usage help text and refer to the man pages

This will reduce the recurring maintenance overhead of keeping the same information up to date in multiple places

Only the most common use cases are covered in the usage help text now
