file wdogctl.8 was added on branch mjf-devfs on 2008-02-18 21:04:18 +0000

Mention evbarm/iopwdog(4) and swwdog(4).

Mention some watchdog drivers in SEE ALSO and don't mention envsys(4)
or envstat(8), they don't have nothing in common with watchdogs.

<wizd> Bump date.

Bump date for new -x.

Add a flag to wdogctl(8), -x, that activates a user-mode timer that
is NOT disarmed when wdogctl closes the watchdog device.  The -x
mode protects against the case where the kernel kills wdogctl,
sshd, and other essential userland programs (due to memory exhaustion,
for example), lobotomizing a mission-critical NetBSD system and
necessitating an operator visit to reboot it.

"-offset indent" is fine for option lists -- re-add it,
backing out previous. jmmv does not disagree.

Remove extra indentation from the options list.

Sort options. Fix a typo. Bump date for -e/-t.

Add a software watchdog timer facility.  Because this slightly
changes the "tickle" model of wdogctl(8), it was modified as well;
while I was in there, I cleaned up the argument parsing.

The code was reviewed by simonb@.

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.

New sentence, new line. From Robert Elz.

Pull up revision 1.6 (requested by thorpej in ticket #578):
Format the path to a file with .Pa.

Pull up revision 1.5 (requested by thorpej in ticket #577):
Note that not all watchdog timers can be disarmed once armed, and that
when such a case is encountered, an error message will be displayed and
the timer will remain armed if an attempt to disarm it is made.

Format the path to a file with .Pa.

Note that not all watchdog timers can be disarmed once armed, and that
when such a case is encountered, an error message will be displayed and
the timer will remain armed if an attempt to disarm it is made.

Use standard section headers.
