SKEL(8) ======= NAME ---- skel - skeleton driver man page NOTE ---- This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the *skel* driver. For information about the core driver, see linkman:nutupsdrv[8]. ////////////////////////////////////////// The following lines are comments. When copying this man page for your new driver, be sure to replace all occurrances of "skel" and "SKEL" by your actual driver name. If you have AsciiDoc installed, you can test the formatting of your man page by running: asciidoc --backend=xhtml11 -o skel.html skel.txt After writing a man page, be sure to add it to the appropriate variable in Makefile.am in this directory. In the "NAME" section, you must follow the format above, including separating the driver name from its description by "-". This is to ensure that the apropos(8) database is properly rebuilt. ////////////////////////////////////////// SUPPORTED HARDWARE ------------------ *skel* supports ... ////////////////////////////////////////// If the driver only works with certain cables, this is a good place to mention it: CABLING ------- ////////////////////////////////////////// EXTRA ARGUMENTS --------------- This driver also supports the following optional settings: *option1*='num':: Set the value of ... to 'num'. Contrast with *option2*. *option2*='string':: Some other option. ////////////////////////////////////////// Optional: list supported instant commands here: INSTANT COMMANDS ---------------- *instcmd1*:: Command 1. ////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////// Optional: use INSTALLATION if you need special parameters to the configure script, or additional libraries as prerequisites. INSTALLATION ------------ ////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////// Optional: use DIAGNOSTICS to describe troubleshooting techniques that are longer than what can be conveniently described in the driver error messages. DIAGNOSTICS ----------- ////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////// You may leave this as "none known at this time", or describe any trouble encountered when implementing the protocol for your UPS. KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS --------------------- *Got "EPERM: Operation not permitted" upon driver startup*:: You have forgotten to install the udev files, as explained in the INSTALLATION section above. Don't forget to restart udev so that it applies these changes. ////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////// An email address is not strictly necessary, but you may wish to provide some form of contact information so that users can report bugs. ////////////////////////////////////////// AUTHORS ------- J Random User ////////////////////////////////////////// If this driver is ever made obsolete by another driver, mention the replacement driver in the "SEE ALSO" section. You may also wish to point the user to other drivers which may better support their hardware, if there is ambiguity based on the driver name. ////////////////////////////////////////// SEE ALSO -------- The core driver: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ linkman:nutupsdrv[8] Internet resources: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NUT (Network UPS Tools) home page: http://www.networkupstools.org/
