Errors in util-linux man pages, here: hardlink.1: Missing markup

[Helge Kreutzmann]

Dear util-linux maintainers.
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including util-linux) as
well for a large variety of target languages.

During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometiems this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the 
original.

We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.

Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.

Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.

I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should 
use another channel, please let me know.

Man page: hardlink.1
Issue: Markup up of command options missing

"Among equal files, keep the oldest file (least recent modification time). By "
"default, the newest file is kept. If --maximize or --minimize is specified, "
"the link count has a higher precedence than the time of modification."

"A regular expression to include files. If the option --exclude has been "
"given, this option re-includes files which would otherwise be excluded. If "
"the option is used without --exclude, only files matched by the pattern are "
"included."

"B<hardlink> , as of version 0.3 RC1, improperly calculates the amount of "
"space saved if the option --respect-name is specified. In previous versions, "
"the amount was wrong in almost all other cases as well."

Greetings

Man page: hardlink.1
Issue: Markup up of "hardlink" missing

"B<hardlink> assumes that the trees it operates on do not change during "
"operation. If a tree does change, the result is undefined and potentially "
"dangerous. For example, if a regular file is replaced by a device, hardlink "
"may start reading from the device. If a component of a path is replaced by a "
"symbolic link or file permissions change, security may be compromised. Do "
"not run hardlink on a changing tree or on a tree controlled by another user."

"The program hardlink and this manpage have been written by Julian Andres "
"Klode, and are licensed under the MIT license. See the code of hardlink for "
"further information."
