./converters/help2man, Generate simple manual pages from program output

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.49.3, Package name: help2man-1.49.3, Maintainer: arved

help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from
program output.

It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a
manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that document.

Given a program which produces resonably standard --help and --version
outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something
which resembles a manual page.

converters/help2man: Work around configure issue w/ GNU gettext()

Depending on platform and compilation environment, GNU gettext
exports functions like bindtextdomain() as libintl_bindtextdomain() so
checking the symbol name directly doesn't work. When bindtextdomain()
isn't found help2man won't install localized man pages.

  * Use @samp{} around the option in the menu description for "--help
    recommendations" to avoid rendering the -- as endash.

    Perl's Encode module.
