This commit slightly improves the formatting of the manuals. My
OpenBSD machine uses mandoc(1) to format manuals. I check the manuals
with `mandoc -T lint` and fix most of the warnings. I also make
other changes where mandoc didn't warn me.
roff(7) says, "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input
line," but we often forgot this rule. I insert some newlines after
sentences that had ended mid-line.
roff(7) also says that blank lines "are only permitted within literal
contexts." I delete blank lines. This removes some extra blank lines
from mandoc's output. If I do want a blank line in the output, I call
".sp 1" to make it in man(7). If I want a blank line in the source,
but not the output, I put a plain dot "." so roff ignores it.
Hyphens used for command-line options, like \-a, should be escaped by
a backslash. I insert a few missing backslashes.
mandoc warns if the date in .TH doesn't look like a date. Our manuals
had a missing date or the RCS keyword "$Revision$". Git doesn't
expand RCS keywords. I put in today's date, 2017-01-18.
Some manuals used tab characters in filled mode. That doesn't work.
I use .nf to turn off filled mode, or I use .IP in man(7) to make the
indentation without a tab character.
ack(1) defined a macro .SB but never used it, so I delete the
definition. I also remove a call to the missing macro .RF.
mandoc warns about empty paragraphs. I deleted them. mandoc also
warned about these macro pairs in anm(1):
.SM
.B text
The .SM did nothing because the .B text is on a different line. I
changed each pair to .SB for small bold text.

.PP

1987-04-14 11:11:03 +00:00
|
|
|
.I Option
|
|
|
|
|
is a, possibly empty, sequence of the following combinations:
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-I\fIdirname\fR
|
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
|
append \fIdirname\fR to the list of directories where definition modules
|
|
|
|
|
are looked for.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
When the compiler needs a definition module, it is first searched for
|
|
|
|
|
in the current directory, and then in the directories given to it by the
|
|
|
|
|
\-\fBI\fR flag
|
|
|
|
|
in the order given.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-M\fP\fIn\fP
|
|
|
|
|
set maximum identifier length to \fIn\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
The minimum value for \fIn\fR is 14, because the keyword
|
|
|
|
|
"IMPLEMENTATION" is that long.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-n\fR
|
|
|
|
|
do not generate EM register messages.
|
|
|
|
|
The user-declared variables will not be stored into registers on the target
|
|
|
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-L\fR
|
|
|
|
|
do not generate the EM \fBfil\fR and \fBlin\fR instructions that enable
|
|
|
|
|
an interpreter to keep track of the current location in the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-V\fIcm\fR.\fIn\fR,\ \fB\-V\fIcm\fR.\fIncm\fR.\fIn\fR\ ...
|
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
|
set the size and alignment requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
The letter \fIc\fR indicates the simple type, which is one of
|
|
|
|
|
\fBw\fR(word size), \fBi\fR(INTEGER), \fBl\fR(LONGINT), \fBf\fR(REAL),
|
|
|
|
|
\fBd\fR(LONGREAL), or \fBp\fR(POINTER).
|
|
|
|
|
It may also be the letter \fBS\fR, indicating that an initial
|
|
|
|
|
record alignment follows.
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIm\fR parameter can be used to specify the length of the type (in bytes)
|
|
|
|
|
and the \fIn\fR parameter for the alignment of that type.
|
|
|
|
|
Absence of \fIm\fR or \fIn\fR causes a default value to be retained.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-w\fR\fIclasses\fR
|
|
|
|
|
suppress warning messages whose class is a member of \fIclasses\fR.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, there are three classes: \fBO\fR, indicating old-flashioned use,
|
|
|
|
|
\fBW\fR, indicating "ordinary" warnings, and \fBR\fR, indicating
|
|
|
|
|
restricted Modula-2.
|
|
|
|
|
If no \fIclasses\fR are given, all warnings are suppressed.
|
|
|
|
|
By default, warnings in class \fBO\fR and \fBW\fR are given.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-W\fR\fIclasses\fR
|
|
|
|
|
allow for warning messages whose class is a member of \fIclasses\fR.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-x\fR
|
|
|
|
|
make all procedure names global, so that \fIadb\fR(1) understands them.
|
1990-07-30 15:56:25 +00:00
|
|
|
.IP \fB\-g\fR
|
|
|
|
|
produce a DBX-style symbol table.
