* Split the -Werror message level into -Werror (broken manual, probablyIngo Schwarze2015-01-201-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | using mandoc is better than using groff) and -Wunsupp (manual using unsupported low-level roff(7) feature, probably using groff is better than using mandoc). Once this feature is complete, it is intended to help porting, making the decision whether to USE_GROFF easier. As a first step, distinguish four classes of roff(7) requests: 1. Supported (currently 24 requests) 2. Currently ignored because unimportant (120) -> no message 3. Ignored for good because insecure (14) -> -Werror 4. Currently unsupported (68) -> these trigger the new -Wunsupp messages
* Fatal errors no longer exist.Ingo Schwarze2015-01-151-8/+8
| | | | | | If a file can be opened, mandoc will produce some output; at worst, the output may be almost empty. Simplifies error handling and frees a message type for future use.
* mdoc(7) already uses the mandoc(1) -Ios argument in the footer lineIngo Schwarze2014-12-281-2/+5
| | | | | | when .Os has no argument, so do the same for man(7) when .TH has less than four arguments; there is no reason to treat both differently. Issue found following a question from Thomas Klausner <wiz at NetBSD>.
* update usage() and the list of non-standard (i.e. non-posix) options;Ingo Schwarze2014-12-181-3/+3
| | | | from jmc@
* minimally document -IOKTW; requested by naddy@Ingo Schwarze2014-12-171-10/+67

* Let -h imply -c (that is, not use the pager).Ingo Schwarze2014-11-111-3/+5
| | | | | | Usually, -h output is short, so the pager is just a nuisance. Also, traditional man(1) does not use a pager for -h. Triggered by a remark of deraadt@ on ICB.
* integrate preconv(1) into mandoc(1);Ingo Schwarze2014-10-251-3/+3
| | | | enhances functionality and reduces code and docs by more than 300 lines
* Implement the traditional -h option for man(1): show the SYNOPSIS only.Ingo Schwarze2014-09-031-6/+5
| | | | | | | As usual, we get mandoc -h and apropos -h for free. Try stuff like "apropos -h In=dirent" or "apropos -h Fa=timespec". Only useful for terminal output, so -Tps, -Tpdf, -Thtml ignore -h for now.
* Introduce a man(1) -l option as an alias for mandoc -a.Ingo Schwarze2014-08-301-3/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically, this does the same as man -l in Linux man-db. The point is that now all functionality of the combined tool is reachable from the man(1) command name: apropos = man -k, whatis = man -f, mandoc = man -cl. Originally suggested by Carsten dot Kunze at arcor dot de, current maintainer of the Heirloom Documentation Tools. While here, add various missing information to the usage() and to the manuals.
* man -I -O -T -W now work, tooIngo Schwarze2014-08-211-1/+9

* * remove pointless separate -f and -k synopses, they take almost all argsIngo Schwarze2014-08-211-50/+17
| | | | | | | * fix up descriptions of -f and -k * remove excessive example for -k * remove explicit BSD references * add CVS Id
* Now that we have man(1) functionality, add a man(1) manual page.Ingo Schwarze2014-08-211-0/+394
I'm importing the totally unchanged OpenBSD version such that all changes can easily be tracked in CVS.
