Dear Maintainer,
here are some notes and editorial fixes for the manual.
The patch is in the attachment.
-.-
The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:
nroff -man >
nroff -man >
diff -u
and for groff, using
"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - "
instead of "nroff -man"
Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table.
Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar.
-.-.
If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings,
the following must be set:
The option "-warnings=w"
The environmental variable:
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)
or
(produce only warnings):
export MANROFFOPT="-ww -z"
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)
-.-.
