30 ;; This code provides a function, `man', with which you can browse
31 ;; UNIX manual pages. Formatting is done in background so that you
32 ;; can continue to use your Emacs while processing is going on.
34 ;; The mode also supports hypertext-like following of manual page SEE
35 ;; ALSO references, and other features. See below or do `?' in a
36 ;; manual page buffer for details.
38 ;; ========== Credits and History ==========
39 ;; In mid 1991, several people posted some interesting improvements to
40 ;; man.el from the standard emacs 18.57 distribution. I liked many of
41 ;; these, but wanted everything in one single package, so I decided
42 ;; to incorporate them into a single manual browsing mode. While
43 ;; much of the code here has been rewritten, and some features added,
44 ;; these folks deserve lots of credit for providing the initial
45 ;; excellent packages on which this one is based.
47 ;; Nick Duffek <duffek@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>, posted a very nice
48 ;; improvement which retrieved and cleaned the manpages in a
49 ;; background process, and which correctly deciphered such options as
52 ;; Eric Rose <erose@jessica.stanford.edu>, submitted manual.el which
53 ;; provided a very nice manual browsing mode.
55 ;; This package was available as `superman.el' from the LCD package
56 ;; for some time before it was accepted into Emacs 19. The entry
57 ;; point and some other names have been changed to make it a drop-in
58 ;; replacement for the old man.el package.
60 ;; Francesco Potorti` <pot@cnuce.cnr.it> cleaned it up thoroughly,
61 ;; making it faster, more robust and more tolerant of different
62 ;; systems' man idiosyncrasies.
64 ;; ========== Features ==========
65 ;; + Runs "man" in the background and pipes the results through a
66 ;; series of sed and awk scripts so that all retrieving and cleaning
67 ;; is done in the background. The cleaning commands are configurable.
68 ;; + Syntax is the same as Un*x man
69 ;; + Functionality is the same as Un*x man, including "man -k" and
70 ;; "man <section>", etc.
71 ;; + Provides a manual browsing mode with keybindings for traversing
72 ;; the sections of a manpage, following references in the SEE ALSO
74 ;; + Multiple manpages created with the same man command are put into
75 ;; a narrowed buffer circular list.
77 ;; ============= TODO ===========
78 ;; - Add a command for printing.
79 ;; - The awk script deletes multiple blank lines. This behaviour does
80 ;; not allow to understand if there was indeed a blank line at the
81 ;; end or beginning of a page (after the header, or before the
82 ;; footer). A different algorithm should be used. It is easy to
83 ;; compute how many blank lines there are before and after the page
84 ;; headers, and after the page footer. But it is possible to compute
85 ;; the number of blank lines before the page footer by heuristics
86 ;; only. Is it worth doing?
87 ;; - Allow a user option to mean that all the manpages should go in
88 ;; the same buffer, where they can be browsed with M-n and M-p.
89 ;; - Allow completion on the manpage name when calling man. This
90 ;; requires a reliable list of places where manpages can be found. The
91 ;; drawback would be that if the list is not complete, the user might
92 ;; be led to believe that the manpages in the missing directories do
