NAME
       manck --	check manual pages

SYNOPSIS
       manck   [-d]  [-h  -|-?]	 [-help]  [-bin	 path]	[-exclude_files	 file]
	     [-exclude_pages file] [-u=section]	 [-i  -|-include  includepath]
	     [-xref] [-files] [-M manpath] [manpages ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Manck  check manual pages. Currently supported section FILES, NAME, SEE
       ALSO, and SYNOPSIS.  Manck  checks  all	man  pages  in	the  directory
       /usr/share/man if no manpages defined. See option -M

       The options are as follows:

	     -d	-|-debug
			 Be  more verbose about	what will be done.  For	a sin-
			 gle -d	option,	print more errors and warnings.	If the
			 option	-d has been specified at  least	 twice,	 print
			 verbose errors	and warnings.  One -d is recommend for
			 a thorough review.

	     -h	-|-?

	     -help	 Give a	help on	the command usage and exit.

	     -bin path	 Look  for  binaries  in  path without a corresponding
			 manpage.  Colons  in  path   are   allowed.   Default
			 /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

	     -exclude_files file
			 file contains a list of missing files that are	``ok''
			 to be missing in the FILES section.

	     -exclude_pages file
			 file  contains	 a  list  of missing manpages that are
			 ``ok''	to be missing.

	     -files	 Scan entire man page for file names  that  have  been
			 specified with	the ``.Pa'' or ``.It Pa'' macros. This
			 option	 is  independent  from section FILES, so it is
			 possible that manck may report	errors twice.

	     -i	-|-include includepath
			 Path  where  include  files   located.	   Colons   in
			 includepath	are    allowed.	   Default    /usr/in-
			 clude:/usr/local/include:/usr/X11/include.

	     -u=section	 Don't check section section.

	     -xref	 Scan entire man page  for  references	to  other  man
			 pages	that  have been	referenced with	the ``.Xr'' or
			 ``.Fn'' macros. This option is	independent  from  the
			 SEE  ALSO  section,  so it is possible	that manck may
			 report	errors twice.

	     -M	manpath	 Use manpath as	the directory where manpages  are  lo-
			 cated.	  Colons   in  manpath	are  allowed.  Default
			 /usr/share/man

EXAMPLES
	     $ manck -bin

       Test if all binaries in /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin  have  their  own
       manpages

	     $ manck /usr/share/man/man1/z*

       Check all manpages with leading 'z' in /usr/share/man/man1.

	     $ manck

       Recursively check all manpages in /usr/share/man.

FILES
	     /usr/share/man	 directory for manual pages.

ENVIRONMENT
