SKEL(8)
=======
NAME
----
skel - skeleton driver man page
NOTE
----
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
*skel* driver. For information about the core driver, see
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].
//////////////////////////////////////////
The following lines are comments.
When copying this man page for your new driver, be sure to replace all
occurrences of "skel" and "SKEL" by your actual driver name.
If you have AsciiDoc installed, you can test the formatting of your man page by
running:
asciidoc --backend=xhtml11 -o skel.html skel.txt
After writing a man page, be sure to add it to the appropriate variable in
Makefile.am in this directory.
In the "NAME" section, you must follow the format above, including separating
the driver name from its description by "-". This is to ensure that the
apropos(8) database is properly rebuilt.
//////////////////////////////////////////

If this driver is ever made obsolete by another driver, mention the
replacement driver in the "SEE ALSO" section. You may also wish to point
the user to other drivers which may better support their hardware, if there
is ambiguity based on the driver name.
