Subject: man-1.6e released
Man version 1.6e is available for download at:
http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/man-1.6e.tar.gz
or
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~lucifred/man/man-1.6e.tar.gz
or
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/doctools/man/man-1.6e.tar.gz
This is a bugfix and update release covering:
- Sections used by makewhatis set via environment variable MANSECT,
falling
back to man.conf's MANSECT setting as man does (Mike Frysinger).
- Removed use of implicit prototypes - besides being sloppy, it leads
to issues
on 64 bit platforms (Mike frysinger, flc).
- Building will now honor pre-existing LDFLAGS if set (Mike Frysinger).
- Updated Italian man pages (Giulio Daprelá).
- Updated Spanish man pages (B. Albiñana, flc).
- Corrected a minor bug in makewhatis' tempdir generation (flc).
- EXPERIMENTAL: support for Plan 9 rc shell lists (Michael Haardt).
- Overdue LSM v4 format compliance (flc).
- Minor corrections and cleanup (flc).
man is a man pager. It has support for compressed pages
(both man pages and cat pages), and for locale ($LANG)
and for message catalogs ($LC_MESSAGES). It will format
files given explicitly (man ./foo.man.gz).
It conforms to FSSTND or FHS, and handles stray cats.
* man2html is a utility that converts man pages to html
* hman is a man browser that uses your favourite browser.
For use with lynx, no http daemon is required.
Keywords: man manpath apropos whatis makewhatis man.conf man2html
man2dvi
