cu.1: describe better + tag spdx
Proposal:
0: cu(1) - call UNIX serial console
Alternative ideas:
1: cu(1) - call UNIX opens a serial console
2: cu(1) - call UNIX over a serial console
Goal: Preserve over 40 years of "call UNIX" BSD heritage while answering "one line about what it does" in 2024:
"how do I get a serial console?" "% apropos serial"
"call unix over a serial line" maybe?
If you have time to merge this within the window, may we please have this in 14.2?
Of course this is quite minor of a feature, but being able to find our serial client with apropos serial is a feature which I hope will:
- For users asking for recommended serial client, I can teach them to search the manual instead.
- Increase user engagement with the manual subsystem, promoting user awareness and appreciation of BSD design philosophy.
