-The subcommand documentation consists of three parts:
+The subcommand documentation consists of the following parts:
- The summary. One line of text,
- the usage/synopsis string,
-- free text section.
+- free text section 1,
+- options (if any),
+- free text section 2.
-The three parts should be separated by lines consisting of two `#` characters
-only. Example:
+The last three parts are optional. All parts should be separated by
+lines consisting of two `#` characters only. Example:
com_world()
##
## Print the string "hello world" to stdout.
##
- ## Usage: world
+ ## Usage: world [-v]
##
## Any arguments to this function are ignored.
##
+ ## -v: Enable verbose mode
+ ##
## Warning: This subcommand may cause the top most line of your terminal to
## disappear and may cause DATA LOSS in your scrollback buffer. Use with
## caution.
{
- echo 'hello world'
+ printf 'hello world'
+ [[ "$1" == '-v' ]] && printf '!'
+ printf '\n'
}
Replace `hello` with the above and try:
___HTML output___
-The output of the auto-generated man subcommand is a suitable input for the
-grutatxt plain text to html converter. Hence
+The auto-generated man subcommand produces plain text, html, or
+roff output.
+
+ ./hello man -m html > index.html
- ./hello man | grutatxt > index.html
+is all it takes to produce an html page for your
+application. Similarly,
-is all it takes to produce an html page for your application.
+ ./hello man -m roff > hello.1
+
+creates a manual page.
___Interactive completion___
- `$gsu_config_var_prefix`. Used by the config module to set up
the variables defined in `$gsu_options`.
+- `$gsu_package`. Text shown at the bottom left of the man page,
+usually the name and version number of the software package. Defaults
+to `$gsu_name`.

Print the manual.
-Usage: man
+Usage: man [-m <mode>] [-b <browser>]
+
+-m: Set output format (text, roff or html). Default: text.
+-b: Use the specified browser. Implies html mode.
+
+If stdout is not associated with a terminal device, the command
+dumps the man page to stdout and exits.
-If stdout associated with a terminal device, output is piped to
-$PAGER. If $PAGER is unset, less(1) is assumed.
+Otherwise, it tries to display the manual page as follows. In text
+mode, plain text is piped to $PAGER. In roff mode, the roff output
+is filtered through nroff, then piped to $PAGER. For both formats,
+if $PAGER is unset, less(1) is assumed.
+
+In html mode, html output is written to a temporary file, and this
+file is displayed as a page in the web browser. If -b is not given,
+the command stored in the $BROWSER environment variable is executed
+with the path to the temporary file as an argument. If $BROWSER is
+unset, elinks(1) is assumed.
+
+It is recommended to specify the output format with -m as the default
+mode might change in future versions of gsu.
