- 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.
