- Introduction
-
- manfilt will filter out those pesky control codes in unix man
- pages. Specifically, it will filter out bold sequences and underline
- sequences.
-
-
- Features
-
- - Portable. manfilt is written in ANSI C, and can ported to
- any platform which supports the standard.
-
- - Pipe-able. manfilt can be piped into and out of.
-
-
- System requirements
-
- - None
-
-
- Usage
-
- manfilt reads from stdin and writes to stdout. In other
- words, you will probably use command-line redirection to filter your
- man pages.
-
- Examples:
-
- System2.1> manfilt <foo
-
- ... will filter the file "foo", and write output to stdout.
-
- System2.1> manfilt <foo >bar
-
- ... will filter the file "foo", and write it to file "bar".
-
- System2.1> gzip -d -c foo.gz | manfilt | MuchMore
- ... will pipe input from gzip, and will pipe output to
- MuchMore.
