NAME:
guide2man - convert SAS/C AmigaGuide help to man pages (37.9, Feb 95)
SYNOPSIS:
guide2man sclibguide outputdir
sclibguide = full path to _sc:help/sc\_lib.guide_;
outputdir = path, should be _man:man3/_ (note slash)
DESCRIPTION:
This is one of the most crucial tools of the package. When supplied with
an AmigaGuide format help file from the SAS/C package, {guide2man} will create
individual man pages based on the C library functions discussed within.
It is recommended that this utility be used if you are an SAS/C programmer --
you will then have the entire sc.lib function library reference at your
fingertips for checking syntax, examples, purpose and so on. The resulting
files will consume about 470 kb of disk space, so be warned!
NOTE:
{guide2man} was designed for use with the SAS/C 6.50 sc\_lib.guide and HAS NOT
been tested with any other versions. |Therefore no guarantees are made!|
If you have a different version of SAS/C, please let me know and I will send
you guide2man.c for modifications.
BUGS:
No validity check is done on the filenames generated by the entries in the
AmigaGuide file. It is known that some may cause problems -- e.g., a file
called _"DiskfontBase".3_ is generated for DiskfontBase, quotes inclusive.
