a73fa39e64 When a compound section name is specified, search for pages that actually
match the requested section. Previously, the section would be trimmed and
every entry matching the page name would be displayed.

f603efeac3 Revision 1.45 of gnu/usr.bin/man/man.c obviated the need to link
manpages in machine-specific subdirectories (like man4/i386/) to
"../".  This change didn't propagate here resulting in a loss of
whatis(1) database entries.  Fix this.

322628519e Reincarnate SETUID code in man(1), not compiled in by default.
The code will be fixed for all known security vulnerabilities,
and a make.conf(5) knob (ENABLE_SUID_MAN) will be provided for
those who still want it installed setuid for whatever reasons.

30843b9337 Do not install man(1) setuid ``man''.
The catpaging and setuidness features of man(1) combined make
it vulnerable to a number of security attacks.  Specifically,
it was possible to overwrite system catpages with arbitrarily
contents by either setting up a symlink to a directory holding
system catpages, or by writing custom -mdoc or -man groff(1)
macro packages and setting up GROFF_TMAC_PATH in environment
to point to them.  (See PR below for details).

This means man(1) can no longer create system catpages on a
regular user's behalf.  (It is still able to if the user has
write permissions to the directory holding catpages, e.g.,
user's own manpages, or if the running user is ``root''.)

To create and install catpages during ``make world'', please
set MANBUILDCAT=YES in /etc/make.conf.  To rebuild catpages
on a weekly basis, please set weekly_catman_enable="YES" in
/etc/periodic.conf.

b9de8f2010 Now that we have the original BSD man(1)'s ${MACHINE} feature
back (as of man.c,v 1.45), change the meaning of the -m option
from poorly documented and badly coded "alternate system" to a
much more useful "different architecture for the same system".

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the

66eda5d765 * A comment in apropos.sh contains the misspelled word
"locailzed"; it should read "localized".

        *  The "test" operator can be a bit dangerous (e.g., if
           a newbie writes a script named "test" and has it call
           "apropos", which calls "test, ...).

        *  In its use as "whatis", apropos formats the first
           line of the output differently than the following
           lines.  Specifically, it leaves out all but one of
           the spaces that precede the dash in the first line.
