BUILD.MAN.MK(5) BSD File Formats Manual BUILD.MAN.MK(5)NAMEbuild.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)
format 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
manual 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",
depending on platform). This is typically set by a ./config‐
ure script (the needed test is included by default in all con‐
figure 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.
