27;;; Commentary:
28
29;; This code provides a function, `man', with which you can browse
30;; UNIX manual pages. Formatting is done in background so that you
31;; can continue to use your Emacs while processing is going on.
32;;
33;; The mode also supports hypertext-like following of manual page SEE
34;; ALSO references, and other features. See below or do `?' in a
35;; manual page buffer for details.
36
37;; ========== Credits and History ==========
38;; In mid 1991, several people posted some interesting improvements to
39;; man.el from the standard emacs 18.57 distribution. I liked many of
40;; these, but wanted everything in one single package, so I decided
41;; to incorporate them into a single manual browsing mode. While
42;; much of the code here has been rewritten, and some features added,
43;; these folks deserve lots of credit for providing the initial
44;; excellent packages on which this one is based.
45
46;; Nick Duffek <duffek@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>, posted a very nice
47;; improvement which retrieved and cleaned the manpages in a
48;; background process, and which correctly deciphered such options as
49;; man -k.
50
51;; Eric Rose <erose@jessica.stanford.edu>, submitted manual.el which
52;; provided a very nice manual browsing mode.
53
54;; This package was available as `superman.el' from the LCD package
55;; for some time before it was accepted into Emacs 19. The entry
56;; point and some other names have been changed to make it a drop-in
57;; replacement for the old man.el package.
58
59;; Francesco Potorti` <pot@cnuce.cnr.it> cleaned it up thoroughly,
60;; making it faster, more robust and more tolerant of different
61;; systems' man idiosyncrasies.
62
63;; ========== Features ==========
64;; + Runs "man" in the background and pipes the results through a
65;; series of sed and awk scripts so that all retrieving and cleaning
66;; is done in the background. The cleaning commands are configurable.
67;; + Syntax is the same as Un*x man
68;; + Functionality is the same as Un*x man, including "man -k" and
69;; "man <section>", etc.
70;; + Provides a manual browsing mode with keybindings for traversing
71;; the sections of a manpage, following references in the SEE ALSO
72;; section, and more.
73;; + Multiple manpages created with the same man command are put into
74;; a narrowed buffer circular list.
75
76;; ============= TODO ===========
77;; - Add a command for printing.
78;; - The awk script deletes multiple blank lines. This behaviour does
79;; not allow to understand if there was indeed a blank line at the
80;; end or beginning of a page (after the header, or before the
81;; footer). A different algorithm should be used. It is easy to
82;; compute how many blank lines there are before and after the page
83;; headers, and after the page footer. But it is possible to compute
72397ff1 84;; the number of blank lines before the page footer by heuristics
55535639
PJ
85;; only. Is it worth doing?
86;; - Allow a user option to mean that all the manpages should go in
87;; the same buffer, where they can be browsed with M-n and M-p.
88;; - Allow completion on the manpage name when calling man. This
89;; requires a reliable list of places where manpages can be found. The
90;; drawback would be that if the list is not complete, the user might
91;; be led to believe that the manpages in the missing directories do
92;; not exist.
