Subject: [PATCH] man: describe naming schemes in a new man page
bd1529
bd1529
I decided to make this a separate man page because it is freakin' long.
bd1529
This content could equally well go in systemd-udevd.service(8), systemd.link(5),
bd1529
or a new man page for the net_id builtin.
bd1529
bd1529
v2:
bd1529
- rename to systemd.net-naming-scheme
bd1529
- add udevadm test-builtin net_id example
bd1529
bd1529
(cherry picked from commit 0b1e5b6ed8c6b9a2bc53709eb75e381d360f05bf)

bd1529
available in RHEL-8]
