Update manpage text in editorconfig.h to point users to editorconfig.org [edited]

[craigbarnes]

I just tried reading the documentation in man editorconfig, as installed by an Arch Linux package. It doesn't actually explain what the editorconfig program does, what a FILEPATH is or what the expected output is.

I am aware of what the EditorConfig project does in general and I already have a valid .editorconfig file, but how to use /usr/bin/editorconfig remains a mystery after reading this man page.

I figured out how to use it -- it seems I needed to use absolute path names. I still think the man page could use a few more words to explain what it does though.

The linked package appears to have been replaced by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/editorconfig-core-c-git/ . The manpage comes straight from this project; I have attached a copy of what I get on my system. I agree the manpage isn't great, but it's not intended to be user-facing. I am going to change this issue to updating the manpage source (editorconfig.h, @page editorconfig) to point users to the Web site or other appropriate documentation. Make sense?

Makes sense to me 👍
