Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> creates a new bus
object and opens a connection to the user bus.
<function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
connects to the system bus.</para>
<para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
variable is set
(cf. <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
it will be used as the address of the user bus. This variable can
contain multiple addresses separated by <literal>;</literal>. If
this variable is not set, a suitable default for the default user
D-Bus instance will be used.</para>
<para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
variable is set, it will be used as the address of the system
bus. This variable uses the same syntax as
<varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>/. If this variable is
not set, a suitable default for the default system D-Bus instance
will be used.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to
the system bus on the specified <parameter>host</parameter> using
SSH. <parameter>host</parameter> consists of an optional user name
followed by the <literal>@</literal> symbol, and the hostname.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to
the system bus in the specified <parameter>machine</parameter>,
where <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a container.
See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about "machines".</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> returns a bus
object connected to the user bus. Each thread has its own object, but it
may be passed around. It is created on the first invocation of
<function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, and subsequent
invocations returns a reference to the same object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, but connects to the
system bus.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Reference ownership</title>
<para>Functions <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>,
<function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>,
<function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function>, and
<function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> return a new
object and the caller owns the sole reference. When not needed
anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The functions <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> do not create a new
reference.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EINVAL</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specified parameter is invalid
(<constant>NULL</constant> in case of output
parameters).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-ENOMEM</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Memory allocation failed.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<para>In addition, any further connection-related errors may be
by returned. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
