Guillem Jover 6ef13eeda7 libselinux: man: Fix man pages formatting
- Add man page sections '(N)' to external references, and '()' on
  functions described in the same man page.
- Escape minus signs when those are expected to be used on the command
  line or files.
- Mark files and variables in italic; Note headings, function names,
  constants, program options and man page references in bold.
- Do not justify and hyphenate SEE ALSO section, and avoid hyphenation
  on symbol names by prepending them with \%.
- Remove trailing dot from NAME section description.
- Split sections with a no-op command '.', to visually distinguish them
  but to avoid introducing spurious vertical space in the formatted
  output.
- Add explicit .sp commands in the SYNOPSIS section between function
  prototypes, and fix space placement in function protoypes.
- Split header includes with .br (instead of the explicit or implicit
  .sp) so that they are vertically contiguous.
- Add missing {} around SELINUXTYPE and POLICYTYPE variable text in
  paths.
- Remove unneeded formatting commands.
- Remove spurious blank lines.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.BR setfilecon ()
sets the security context of the file system object.
.BR lsetfilecon ()
is identical to setfilecon, except in the case of a symbolic link, where the
link itself has it's context set, not the file that it refers to.
.BR fsetfilecon ()
is identical to setfilecon, only the open file pointed to by filedes (as
returned by
.BR open (2))
has it's context set in place of path.
.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
On success, zero is returned. On failure, \-1 is returned and
.I errno
is set appropriately.
.
.SH "ERRORS"
If there is insufficient space remaining to store the extended
attribute,
.I errno
is set to either
.BR ENOSPC ,
or
.B EDQUOT
if quota enforcement was the cause.
If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
.I errno
is set to
.BR ENOTSUP .
The errors documented for the
.BR stat (2)
system call are also applicable here.
