Lennart Poettering 658dc909dc man: fix references to systemd.exec(5)
For some reason the section for the systemd.exec man page was added
incorrectly and then copypasted everywhere else incorrectly too. Let's
fix that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command> sets up and configures either all virtual consoles, or
— if the optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system
is booting up, <filename>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</filename> is called by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> during
VT console subsystem initialization. Also,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
invokes it as needed when language or console changes are made.
Internally, this program calls
<citerefentry project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Execute <command>systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service</command> in order to apply any manual
changes made to <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>vconsole.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
information about the configuration files and kernel command line options understood by this program.</para>

<title>Credentials</title>
<para><command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command> supports the service credentials logic as implemented by
<varname>ImportCredential=</varname>/<varname>LoadCredential=</varname>/<varname>SetCredential=</varname>
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details). The following credentials are used when passed in:</para>
<variablelist class='system-credentials'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>vconsole.keymap</varname></term>
<term><varname>vconsole.keymap_toggle</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The keymap (and toggle keymap) to apply. The matching options in
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> and on the kernel command line take precedence over these
credentials.</para>
<para>Note the relationship to the <varname>firstboot.keymap</varname> credential understood by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>:
both ultimately affect the same setting, but <varname>firstboot.keymap</varname> is written into
<filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> on first boot (if not already configured), and then read from
there by <command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command>, while <varname>vconsole.keymap</varname> is read
on every boot, and is not persisted to disk (but any configuration in
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> will take precedence if present).</para>
