MANCK(1) BSD General Commands Manual MANCK(1)NAMEmanck — check manual pages
SYNOPSISmanck [-d] [-h -|-?] [-help] [-bin path] [-exclude_files file]
[-exclude_pages file] [-u=section] [-i -|-include includepath]
[-xref] [-files] [-M manpath] [manpages ...]
DESCRIPTION
Manck check manual pages. Currently supported section FILES, NAME, SEE
ALSO, and SYNOPSIS. Manck checks all man pages in the directory
/usr/share/man if no manpages defined. See option -M
The options are as follows:
-d -|-debug
Be more verbose about what will be done. For a single
-d option, print more errors and warnings. If the
option -d has been specified at least twice, print ver‐
bose errors and warnings. One -d is recommend for a
thorough review.
-h -|-?
-help Give a help on the command usage and exit.
-bin path Look for binaries in path without a corresponding man‐
page. Colons in path are allowed. Default
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
-exclude_files file
file contains a list of missing files that are ``ok''
to be missing in the FILES section.
-exclude_pages file
file contains a list of missing manpages that are
``ok'' to be missing.
-files Scan entire man page for file names that have been
specified with the ``.Pa'' or ``.It Pa'' macros. This
option is independent from section FILES, so it is pos‐
sible that manck may report errors twice.
-i -|-include includepath
Path where include files located. Colons in
includepath are allowed. Default
/usr/include:/usr/local/include:/usr/X11/include.
-u=section Don't check section section.
-xref Scan entire man page for references to other man pages
that have been referenced with the ``.Xr'' or ``.Fn''
macros. This option is independent from the SEE ALSO
section, so it is possible that manck may report errors
twice.
-M manpath Use manpath as the directory where manpages are
located. Colons in manpath are allowed. Default
/usr/share/man
EXAMPLES
$ manck-bin
Test if all binaries in /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin have their own man‐
