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 single -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 man-
		       page.   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 speci-
		       fied  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/include:/usr/local/in-
		       clude:/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 sec-
		       tion, so it is possible	that  manck  may  report  errors
		       twice.

	   -M manpath  Use  manpath as the directory where manpages are located.
		       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  man-
     pages

	   $ 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
     $MANPATH		 directories for searching cross references.

SEE ALSO
