BUILD.MAN.MK(5) File Formats Manual BUILD.MAN.MK(5) NAME build.man.mk -- bsdbuild - compilation of UNIX manual pages SYNOPSIS .include <bsd.man.mk> DESCRIPTION The build.man.mk module processes UNIX manual pages files in mandoc(1) for- mat into presentation-ready documents in ASCII, PostScript, PDF or HTML format. TARGETS all-catman Produce preformatted manual pages from the specified mandoc source files. Fail silently on systems where mandoc/nroff are unavailable, or where preformatted man- ual pages are not preferred. clean-man Clean up output files. install-man-dirs Create empty section directories in ${MANDIR}. install-man Install the manpages into ${MANDIR}. install-manlinks Install the manpage symlinks into ${MANDIR}. man Display a manpage (passed via the MAN argument), by feeding its ASCII formatted version to ${PAGER}. manlinks Scan the ${MAN*} sources and auto-generate a .manlinks.mk file defining links for function names (i.e., where .Fn appears in a SYNOPSIS or ".nr nS 1" block), or where the special directive "MANLINK(name)" appears in a comment. lint Parse only, produce no output. Display verbose warn- ings. VARIABLES MAN[1-9] List of mandoc input source files (with the .[1-9] extension). MANDOC Mandoc processor (usually "mandoc" or "nroff -Tmandoc", depend- ing on platform). This is typically set by a ./configure script (the needed test is included by default in all configure scripts by mkconfigure(1)). MANLINKS A list of symbolic links that should be created by the install target. The elements of this list are of the form "Foo.1:Bar.1", where "Bar.1" is the symbolic link, and "Foo.1" is the destination manpage. Typically, MANLINKS is defined in the .manlinks.mk files which are auto-generated by the manlinks target.
