From 271532286c87c96bbf137c2f9eea2439dfbaf674 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: schwarze <schwarze@openbsd.org>
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:45:43 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] To make it even more obvious which combinations are allowed,
 provide sub-synopses for the various internal commands, and make it explicit
 what applies to daemons only and what applies to other services as well.
 Feedback and OK ajacoutot@.
