re concerns about libast::optget() string out of sync with .1 man page
I mentioned this in a previous post but it must have gotten lost
amidst the volume of posts: the separate ksh93 sh.1 man page is an
exception rather than the rule for ast section 1 utilities
in almost all other cases the optget() usage string *is* the man page src,
and we have no intention of ever maintaining separate .1 man pages,
save the traditional exceptions for the long ones like sh(1)
if there are concerns about maintaining separate optget() usage strings
and .1 text files for ast commands on solaris, then I recommend
generating the man page from the --nroff output; this generation step
would be a place to add solaris specific tags; something like
astcommand --nroff
solaris-maintained-man-additions
as input to a script that generates the solaris man page text file
