Subject: [PATCH] man: improve wording of systemctl's --after/--before
84b277
84b277
Commit 4a77ca7 was an attempt at fixing the wording of --after and --before,
84b277
but the new wording was unclear.
84b277
84b277
Split the combined --after/--before section into a separate section for
84b277
each, explicitly state what each option does, and add information about
84b277
how these lists are generated.
