2020-09-10tools: bpftool: Automate generation for "SEE ALSO" sections in man pagesQuentin Monnet
The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2), bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current one). This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple times in the past. Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are available in the same directory. v3: - Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS variable passed to rst2man. v2: - Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of passing a format string directly to the command.

2020-09-10tools: bpftool: Include common options from separate fileQuentin Monnet
Nearly all man pages for bpftool have the same common set of option flags (--help, --version, --json, --pretty, --debug). The description is duplicated across all the pages, which is more difficult to maintain if the description of an option changes. It may also be confusing to sort out what options are not "common" and should not be copied when creating new manual pages. Let's move the description for those common options to a separate file, which is included with a RST directive when generating the man pages.

2020-05-11tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentationQuentin Monnet
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example, complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in footers. v2: - Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst, when it does not refer to something passed on the command line. - Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.
