From 9029f64298cb70c12ecf638fddee7f41b056fcf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason St. John" Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:03:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] man: improve wording of systemctl's --after/--before Commit 4a77ca7 was an attempt at fixing the wording of --after and --before, but the new wording was unclear. Split the combined --after/--before section into a separate section for each, explicitly state what each option does, and add information about how these lists are generated.
