From 998a8f404d354caff1da46375369bb14b8eea25a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: 0mp <0mp@FreeBSD.org> Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2020 13:25:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerd.8: Improve style & fix typos - Sort options. - Do not use macros (like .Ar) to specify width for Bl (macros within that string are not expanded). - Use Cm instead of Ar for mode names. - Fix some typos reported by mandoc. - Move the documentation of the PID file from the -P flag description to the FILES section.
