[PATCH 0/2] man7/ip.7: Clarify PKTINFO's docs

["Jakub Głogowski" <not@dzwdz.net>]

I found the PKTINFO docs pretty confusing, so I tried clarifying them:
- being more specific about each field in the struct
  (e.g. "local address of the packet" for a received packet could've
  been interpreted in myriad ways),
- making the differences between sendmsg(2)'s and recvmsg(2)'s handling
  of that struct more explicit,
- and some other slight rewording to make it (IMO) more readable - I cut
  out most of a paragraph that wasn't really saying anything, etc.

I'm not sure if this should even be documented in ip(7) together with
the other sockopts, though?  sendmsg(2)'s handling of in_pktinfo is
completely unrelated to the IP_PKTINFO sockopt.  Documenting it in its
own manual page would also give us more room for subsection headings and
other formatting, examples, etc - instead of trying to cram it into
what's already an enormous manpage.

Same goes for some of the other more complex sockopts, I guess.


PS. sorry for not signing this email, but neomutt didn't want to
cooperate :/  I'll try to figure it out for any followup patches.
