Ed Santiago 281def2647 man pages: fix inconsistencies
I wrote a script to cross-reference podman --help against
man pages. It found a bunch of inconsistencies fix them:

 * options missing from man pages
 * options misspelled or misformatted in man pages (usually
   misplaced asterisks or missing dashes, but see --dns-opt)
 * one spurious comma in the actual source file --help

This is a fix in which I iterate over 'podman CMD --help'
and check for presence in man pages. The other way around
(look for flags in man pages, check podman CMD --help)
is probably impossible: there are too many special cases

% podman-kill(1)

NAME

podman-kill - Kill the main process in one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

podman kill [options] [container ...]

podman container kill [options] [container ...]

DESCRIPTION

The main process inside each container specified will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option --signal.

OPTIONS

--all, -a

Signal all running containers. This does not include paused containers.

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

--signal, -s

Signal to send to the container. For more information on Linux signals, refer to man signal(7).

EXAMPLE

podman kill mywebserver

podman kill 860a4b23

podman kill --signal TERM 860a4b23

podman kill --latest

podman kill --signal KILL -a
