What remained was reordered + properly, that is, some sect1s became sects etc. + + Several sections that were redundant, crufty or simply not designed + with any sort of vision, were rearranged according to the formula that + everything should be either in the same place or properly interlinked. + Some things remained split up between different chapters when they + talked about different aspects of files: their content, their syntax, + and their placement in the file system.
