Hi! I'm working on a front-end to various unix command-line utilities, and I want to be able to retrieve informations from man pages, specially existing options and their help strings. Do you know a good way to handle this? I could parse directly the troff sources (is there already a parser for that?), the resulting man pages, or I could first translate it to docbook (with doclifter) or html (mantohtml) and than use a xml or html parser.
All these options require a good amount of time for me, as I don't know any of the parsers, and I don't know the languages, except for html. It's why I'm asking here first if there is a better solution or other advices... Thanks.
