Hi
because i was disappointed that some sparc related devices have no man
pages. I started to create some for them. I will attach the cat of my
first versions below. But I have a diffrent question, which copyright
should the man pages contains? The one of the author of the specific driver?
Please give me some suggestions, typos, gramatical issues and of course
if something is not correct and so on...
Best Regards
