NAME

mansun - macros to format Reference Manual pages

SYNOPSIS

nroff -mansun filename...

troff -mansun filename...

DESCRIPTION

These macros are used to lay out the reference pages in this manual. Note: if filename contains format input for a preprocessor, the commands shown above must be piped through the appropriate preprocessor. This is handled automatically by man(1). See the ``Conventions'' section. Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include SPACE characters in a "word". If text is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SB may be used to make small bold letters.

A prevailing indent distance is remembered between succes-

sive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon

reaching a non-indented paragraph. Default units for

indents i are ens. Type font and size are reset to default values before each

paragraph, and after processing font and size setting mac-

ros.

These strings are predefined by -mansun:

\*R `rO', `(Reg)' in nroff. \*S Change to default type size. Requests * n.t.l. = next text line; p.i. = prevailing indent Request Cause If no Explanation Break Argument

When formatting a manual page, mansun examines the first

line to determine whether it requires special processing. For example a first line consisting of: '\" t

indicates that the manual page must be run through the tbl(1) preprocessor. A typical manual page for a command or function is laid out as follows:

.TH title [1-8] The name of the command or function,

which serves as the title of the manual page. This is followed by the number of the section in which it appears.

.SH NAME The name, or list of names, by which

the command is called, followed by a

dash and then a one-line summary of the

action performed. All in Roman font,

this section contains no troff(1) com-

mands or escapes, and no macro requests. It is used to generate the windex database, which is used by the whatis(1) command.

.SH SYNOPSIS

Commands: The syntax of the command and its arguments, as typed on the command line. When in boldface, a word must be typed exactly as printed. When in italics, a word can be replaced with an argument that you supply. References to bold or italicized items are not capitalized in other sections, even when they begin a sentence. Syntactic symbols appear in Roman face: [ ] An argument,

when sur-

rounded by brackets is optional. | Arguments separated by a vertical

bar are exclusive.

You can sup-

ply only one item from such a list. ... Arguments followed by an ellipsis can be repeated. When an

ellipsis fol-

lows a brack-

eted set, the expression within the brackets can be repeated. Functions: If required, the data

declaration, or #include

directive, is shown first, followed by the function declaration. Otherwise, the function declaration is shown.

.SH DESCRIPTION A narrative overview of the command or

function's external behavior. This includes how it interacts with files or data, and how it handles the standard input, standard output and standard error. Internals and implementation

details are normally omitted. This sec-

tion attempts to provide a succinct overview in answer to the question, "what does it do?" Literal text from the synopsis appears in constant width, as do literal filenames and references to items that appear elsewhere in the reference manuals. Arguments are italicized. If a command interprets either

normally described in a USAGE section,

which follows the OPTIONS section. The

behavior of the command itself, not that of subcommands. .SH OPTIONS The list of options along with a description of how each affects the command's operation. .SH FILES A list of files associated with the command or function.
