Title:
  no explanation for the events in the networkd-dispatcher manpage

Status in networkd-dispatcher package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  networkd-dispatcher supports four hook directories:

  $ ls /usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/
  dormant.d  no-carrier.d  off.d  routable.d
  $

  The manpage does not define what these hooks mean.  'routable' and
  'no-carrier' are self-explanatory, but it's not at all clear what
  'dormant' vs 'off' mean.  It's not at all clear what events one should
  expect to see as part of device bring-up.

  This needs to be better documented.
