Printing NetBSD documentation (wholesome, and how to make your own)
I've had a discussion about
printed sets of Unix manuals
the other day. As a reminder, one can make those
for NetBSD easily:
- grab NetBSD-current sources
- cd src/share/man/man0
- make
The result is a bit more than 8000 pages!
FWIW, I've
uploaded the results for NetBSD-current as of 20080613.
Anyone in for printing and publishing this?
P.S.:
For those wondering how to get single pages formatted, here's a little excursion
in *roff, the formatting language that Unix manual pages
are written in. Take src/bin/ls/ls.1 as an example. To get
a formatted page in ASCII output, use:
nroff -man ls.1
For a printer-ready PostScript file, use:
groff -man -Tps ls.1 >ls.ps
NetBSD also has a macro-set to produce HTML output:
groff -man -Thtml ls.1 >ls.html
Enjoy!
