Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fe45f8dc9b man: drop whitespace from final <programlisting> lines
In the troff output, this doesn't seem to make any difference. But in the
html output, the whitespace is sometimes preserved, creating an additional
gap before the following content. Drop it everywhere to avoid this.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command> is a command to receive serialized journal
events and store them to journal files. Input streams are in the
<ulink url="https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_EXPORT_FORMATS#journal-export-format">Journal Export Format</ulink>,
i.e. like the output from <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over the
network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an HTTPS connection.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> is a system service that uses
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> to listen for connections.
<filename>systemd-journal-remote.socket</filename> configures the network address that
<filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> listens on. By default this is port 19532.
What connections are accepted and how the received data is stored can be configured through the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-remote.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Sources</title>
<para>
Sources can be either "active"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
the data), or "passive"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
</para>
<para>
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
"accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
</para>
<para>
When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
(there are no listening sockets), then
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
</para>
<para>Active sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-raw=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (cf.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will listen on this
socket for connections. Each connection is expected to be a
stream of journal events.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v239"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-http=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--listen-https=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be
either a negative integer, in which case it will be
interpreted as the (negated) file descriptor number, or an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (c.f.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
In the first case, the server listens on port 19532 by default,
and the matching file descriptor must be inherited through
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>.
In the second case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be spawned on
this port, respectively for <option>--listen-http=</option> and
<option>--listen-https=</option>. Currently, only POST requests
to <filename>/upload</filename> with <literal>Content-Type:
application/vnd.fdo.journal</literal> are supported.</para>

behave like those opened with <option>--listen-raw=</option>
described above, unless they are specified as an argument in
<option>--listen-http=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
or
<option>--listen-https=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
above. In the latter case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be
spawned using this descriptor and connections must be made
over the HTTP protocol.</para>
