From: Philippe Proulx Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 20:48:06 +0000 (-0500) Subject: lttng-ust(3): reorganize the "Context information" section X-Git-Tag: v2.13.0-rc1~323 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=524a1173abc7dc2325aef257e35eeaeb8a808715;p=lttng-ust.git lttng-ust(3): reorganize the "Context information" section This patch reorganizes the "Context information" of the lttng-ust(3) manual page so as to categorize the context fields into: * General context fields * Process context fields * perf context fields * Namespace context fields * Credential context fields This patch also changes parts of said section to replace some external manual page references with English nouns for consistency, moving the references to parentheses.
