Subject: man: generate an index of directives
X-Git-Tag: v190~65
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?p=elogind.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9cfd69403d18438d7bafd172d6a0686940c2e30

man: generate an index of directives

Systemd has a large (and growing) number of manpages. Sometimes it's
not immediately obvious, where to look for a directive. Especially,
when something is described in more than one place. Making sense of
all the settings should be easier with an index.
