What were you trying to do?
Obtain the manpage for allocb(9f)
What's wrong:
The pre-formatted page in /usr/man/cat9f/allocb.9f is empty, and
attempting to format the page manually from /usr/man/man9f/allocb.9f
fails with:
Reformatting page. Wait...sh: pic: not found
done
Presumably due to the lack of pic(1) on Solaris, and the fact that
the page contains a diagram.
What should have happened:
The manpage, preferably including the diagram, should have been
displayed in some way.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man(1), pic(1)
