I think initially I wanted to check the doc on "tlmgr platform add" 
because earlier in the day I had added x86_64-linux to a a prior
i386-linux,

but then I ended up playing with tlmgr info

a propos "tlmgr platform add", it ended with 

    tlmgr ended with a warning

or perhaps it was rather

    tlmgr: action platform ended with a warning

but I wasn't told which warning. Some tlmgr $? would give it?

Later, before going to bed I decided
to check the html doc to learn how to get this warning
explicitely and drifted away with the info thing

the warning: I thought today I would find it in the tlmgr.log
file (on the distant machine where I did this yestereday) but
checking now I see in

  /---/texlive/2015/texmf-var/web2c/
only the output of tlmgr update actions

 
Here is another example with a warning:

~$ tlmgr info newtxmath
tlmgr: package repository /Users/---/Downloads/tlpretest
tlmgr: cannot find package newtxmath
tlmgr: action info returned a warning.

I am not worried about that, but yesterday after adding
platform x86_64-linux, I didn't know what had triggered the
warning.

(to make a long story short: after years of suffering 
with an obsolete TL2004, then a less obsolete TL2007, then
an even less obsolete TL2010 but no hope to get it updated
anytime soon, and thus with over the years hundreds of megabytes 
(including fonts) manually added to my ~/texmf, I was endangering 
a ridiculously small quota I have to live under, (the quota
ten years ago was perhaps at 200M... it got multiplied by 10 
after I adopted a life threatening attitude, but still)
... I finally understood last month that somewhere
on the file system there was no quota, thus I could
make there a full-install of TL2015. However when I connect
via ssh I end up on a 64bit machine, and not the 32bit machine
I am physically on overthere.)

I initially did a scheme=full install of TeXLive pretest,
thus in the case of etoc, it was indeed _updated_ later, but
it already existed before inthe tlpdb

Thanks, I understand now. Indeed relocatable appears only twice
in the full tlmgr html doc, when discussing user-mode

Thanks for pointing that out. I though to have read from A to Z
the html doc, but I must have been asleep already. The search
action is exactly what I was looking for.
