In several pages, there is a consistent wording problem: "another"
where "other" should be used. This wording problem can be
surprisingly confusing for native speakers, especially those
unaware that in some other languages, "another" and "other" can be
expressed with the same word.

There is value in ensuring that manual page sections use consistently
named sections, as far as possible, and also that sections have a
consistent order within manual pages. This is one of a series of patches
to place manual page sections in a consistent order.
In this patch, we ensure that the NOTES, HISTORY, BUGS, and EXAMPLE
sections are always placed near the end of the page, just above
AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, SEE ALSO, and AVAILABILITY.
One page is not fixed by this patch: term-utils/agetty.8. This page
is a mess of unusual section names, and probably requires an individual
edit.
Testing that no gross editing mistake (causing accidental loss or addition
of text) was performed as follows:
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > a
[Apply patch]
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > b
$ diff a b
$ echo $?

The manual pages currently use a multitude of terms--"exit code",
"error code", "return code", "exit code", and so on--when what
is always meant is "exit status" (the POSIX term). This patch fixes
as many of these erroneous terms as I could find.

There is quite some value (in terms of readability and user
expectations) if consistent names are used for the sections
within manual pages. This patch is one of a series to bring
about this consistency.
But, let's make sure that the section is consistently titled
across pages. Currently we have ENVIRONMENT (many) or ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES (3). Let's standardize on ENVIRONMENT (which is also
what is suggested in man-pages(7)).

In the Linux man-pages project, I long ago did away with the
AUTHOR(S) section, but I realize some projects like to keep this.
But, let's make sure that the section is consistently titled
across pages. Currently we have AUTHOR (47) or AUTHORS (41).
Let's standardize on the latter (which is also what is

Using double quotes in .SH lines containing multiple words is unneeded,
and in any case is not consistently done in the util-linux manual pages,
where double quotes are used in only around half of the cases.
(This usage was long ago elminated in the man-pages project, with
no ill effects reported to date.)
Remove these quotes, so that .SH lines are more uniform, in preparation
for some (more easily) scripted doiscovery of consistency problems in
(and possibly global fixes to) the manual pages.
Other than stripping the double quotes, this patch makes no changes to
the content of the manual pages.

The current default behavior is to print the first issue file/dir and
all alternative locations are used as a backup solution only. If something
is found than the rest is ignored. The --issue-file allow to overwrite
this default behavior, but currently it supports only one file/dir.
This patch extend --issue-file to support ':' separated list of paths
and *all* the files (if exist and no empty) in the list are printed.
agetty --issue-file=/etc/issue:/etc/issue.d:/run/issue:/run/issue.d:/usr/lib/issue:/usr/lib/issue.d

Deprecating calls to not-thread safe asctime(), ctime(), and localtime()
calls is pretty close to pointless change. Lets do it to reduce lgtm scan
warnings with justification it's nicer to use static analysis tools when
they have very few positives.

Add a comma (,) after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words
(man-pages(7) [package "manpages"]).
Abbreviation points should be protected (usually with the
non-printing, zero width character '\&') from being interpreted as an
end of sentence, if they are not, and that independent of their current
place on the line.
This is important when typing, as one does not usually know in
advance when the editor jumps to a new line.

nologin is typically used in /etc/passwd as a shell replacement. Hence it

Now the code is duplicate on many places, but all we usually need is to
