fstab: add page

[ghost]

• The page (if new), does not already exist in the repository.
• The page is in the correct platform directory (common/, linux/, etc.)
• The page has 8 or fewer examples.
• The PR title conforms to the recommended templates.
• The page follows the content guidelines.
• The page description includes a link to documentation or a homepage (if applicable).

Version of the command being documented (if known):

This is my first time making a pull request and I don't quite know how it works. Please tell me if I did anything wrong.

Wondering if we should add something that is not a command.
Although, one example cgroups comes to mind.
Thoughts ?

It's a good idea. Just instead of code samples any other one-liners will be placed such as configs. The problem arises when tl;dr page describes config that doesn't support joining several lines and mandates \n.

tldr is for command examples, so it could be command related to fstab, example:

`echo '/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0' | tee --append /etc/fstab`

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Please fix syntax errors. 😄

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Remove examples from description: they make it too long.

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Errors are fixed because no author response is obtain for a long time.

I'm really not sure if we should accept this page. We had this situation a few times in the past and always decided that it should be addad to another project like cheat.sh instead.

I know it's often frustrating to have to reject seemingly good ideas, but we just don't have the capabilities to maintain all this. When we accept non-command pages, there would have to be a whole new style guide, probably new syntax, new rules, etc.

(Also, cgroups does fit this project's scope, because it's merely an alias page to a few other commands. A little unusual, but not much.)

ill be honest, i kinda forgot about this contribution. originally though, i thought of tldr being an 'ez help' kinda program which the name suggests. im not sure if youd have to make a whole new stylesheet guide for 'non command pages' cuz i think no matter what man page, it can be shortened for this project

the decision is up to you after all tho since i didnt really do much except the initial commit

[marchersimon]

Thanks for understanding. You could try contributing your page to cheat.

I think we can accept 1 o 2 examples like the following:

echo '/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0' | tee --append /etc/fstab

but not an explanation about the structure of this file.

[marchersimon]

@navarroaxel but we can't just throw in '/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0' without explaining its structure. That probably wouldn't be very useful.

@marchersimon well, in the example description we can explain some params. Anyway this isn't a command, and tldr is for terminal commands.

Sorry, tldr-pages only documents commands, so we can't accept this page. However, there are a number of sister projects like the aforementioned cheat.sh where this would fit better.
