filename: vt220keys.1

makewhatis.local - start makewhatis(1) only for file systems
physically mounted on the system
Running makewhatis from /etc/weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all clients start makewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper instead calling makewhatis directly.

man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
include this in the old makefiles.
I intended to fix only the private maninstall rule but found a lot of
other bogons and bugs:
- strong resistance to installing the program anywhere other than
${DESTDIR}/usr/bin (first, ../../Makefile.inc was not included.
../Makefile/inc was redundantly included instead. Second, /usr/bin
was hard coded).
- the owner, group and permissions were hard coded.
- the man page was installed twice.
- MANDEPEND wasn't necessary.
- calculations to determine the obj directory weren't necessary.
- there were unnecessary private rules for depend, rcsfreeze and tags.
We don't support the rcsfreeze target.
- there was an extra, bogus, rule for `all'.
The final version uses suffix rules to eliminate the remaining verboseness
involving directories (${.CURDIR}) and to potentially allow multiple
shell programs in one directory.

>Description:
Interrupting man while it is waiting for the page to be formatted
results in a zero length file or a half-baked file.

Inetrrupt man while it is formatting a page.
>Fix:
Pay more attention to the return value from the system command.

like "3DBorder" and "[". (NB, the "3DBorder" problem has actually
been intention, it allowed for weird section names like "3xyzzy". We
don't have them, either.)

one is much more intelligent, not only that it would accept multiple
man page locations, it also behaves like ``make'' in that it will only
deal with cat pages that are out of date (by default).
Wolfram also wrote a man page for it.

if a signal is received.
This fixes a bug where killing the process would cause a
"No manual entry for XXX" to be printed even if the manpage
was found.
