"should" is best used for recommending something. Here, it kind of introduces doubt. If control sockets "should" be found there, does that mean sometimes they are not?
I suspect this really means

Control sockets path.

Passive to active:

Interface to be configured.

When possible, removing the verbs from the beginning of these can make them shorter and sometimes clearer.

A quick glance and this looks good, but it's missing any context. Please see https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/show/Phabricator?action=show&redirect=CodeReview#Create_a_Revision_via_Web_Interface

Thanks!

Hi there,

Some additional context on the motivation for this patch (from bug report 203406 [1])

Current manual page for wpi_cli(8) is out of date -dated 2005- and lacks descriptions of command line options and many commands.

With this patch;

  • SYNPOSIS section has been updated to reflect the command line options
  • OPTIONS section, which includes the description of each command line option (such as -v, -a, -G, -g, -B), has been added
  • Other supported commands have been added into the COMMANDS sections. The wpa_cli_commands[] structure contained in the /contrib/wpa/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.c file is used as the reference for adding new commands (commands that need a special compile time option have been excluded)

Patch was generated against the wpa_cli.8 man page included in the "head" branch.

wpa_cli.8.fni -> working copy
wpa_cli.8 -> original file from the "head" branch

Diff file was generated with the command below
diff -u wpa_cli.8 wpa_cli.8.fni > wpa_cli.8.diff

Sevan created the relevant Phabricator entry for the review of the patch in [1]. Diff 23173 [2] reflects corrections proposed by Benjamin and Warren.

Still no context (as in diff context, as in svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x -U999999 or git diff -U999999 other-branch). But other than the whitespace issues noted, looks good. Please fix those, bump .Dd, and check the patched file with igor -R wpa_cli.8 and mandoc -Tlint wpa_cli.8 before commit.

wpa_cli.8

igor says there is trailing whitespace on this line.

163 ↗(On Diff #24105)

igor says there is trailing whitespace on this line also, although it can't be seen in Phabricator.
