Andrew Deason ade56fa2f9 doc: Make all vos pages =include common options
Many manpages for "vos" subcommands were not using the "common" vos
fragments, and instead were just repeating the information directly in
their manpage. Make them all use the "common" vos fragment to avoid
duplication.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<vos size> command shows the size of a volume's dump for backup
purposes. The size of the dump may differ from the volume size as reported
by B<vos examine> or B<fs listquota>. The size is shown in bytes.
This command is intended for use with backup systems that want to size
volume dumps before performing them (to optimize use of tape resources,
for example).
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-id> <I<volume name or id>>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the read/write,
read-only, or backup volume to size.
=item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
Specifies the partition on which the volume resides. Provide the
B<-server> argument along with this one.
=item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
Specifies the file server machine on which the volume resides. Provide
the B<-partition> argument along with this one.
=item B<-dump>
Show the size of the volume dump for the specified volume. Currently, this
flag should always be given for B<vos size> to give useful information.
It is present to allow this command to provide other size estimates in the
future.
=item B<-time> <I<dump from time>>
Specifies whether the dump is full or incremental. Omit this argument to
size a full dump. See L<vos_dump(1)> for the valid values for this
option.
=include fragments/vos-common.pod
=back
=head1 OUTPUT
When run without B<-verbose>, the output will be:
Volume: <volume>
dump_size: <size>
where <volume> is the name of the volume and <size> is the size of the
dump in bytes. With B<-verbose>, additional status messages will be
printed between those two lines.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Sizing a single user volume:
% vos size user.thoron -dump
Volume: user.thoron
dump_size: 36430
or, more verbosely:
% vos size user.thoron -dump -verbose
Volume: user.thoron
Starting transaction on volume 2003434023... done
Getting size of volume on volume 2003434023... done
Ending transaction on volume 2003434023... done
dump_size: 36430
Sizing an incremental dump for the same volume:
% vos size -id user.thoron -time '05/04/2007 00:00:00' -dump
Volume: user.thoron
dump_size: 21095
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
machine specified with the B<-server> argument or the machine on which the
volume is located if B<-server> was not given. If the B<-localauth> flag
is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as
the local superuser C<root>.
