2025-09-07man/: Address diagnostic about mismatched quotesAlejandro Colomar1-2/+1
Most of these are false positives, in the sense that a line break is escaped, and the matching quote is in the next source line. However, let's remove those escaped line breaks, which make reading the source more difficult. For this, rename some parameters to be shorter, and allow some lines to go slightly past the 80-column right margin. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>

2025-06-28man/man5/elf.5: Clarify string table reference for SHT_SYMTAB sectionsDacian Pascu1-0/+4
Add clarification that for SHT_SYMTAB sections, the associated string table section index can be found in the sh_link member, following the same pattern documented for section header string tables. This was discovered while writing an ELF parser, where the sh_link field is needed to locate the string table for symbol name lookups in SHT_SYMTAB sections.

2025-05-06man/, CREDITS: Move in-source contribution records to CREDITSAlejandro Colomar23-83/+2
This information is better placed in the git logs, not in the source code itself. For people interested in the old history of pages, before we used git, they will probably look at old versions of these pages, like for example man-pages-1.70, or the 'prehistory' branch, and there they'll find these notes. Keep the names and emails of contributors in a new CREDITS file.

Lots of software depend on DT_RPATH as is. It is used e.g. for testing and in binary installers.
