27 ;;; Commentary:
28
29 ;; This code provides a function, manual-entry, with which you can
30 ;; browse UNIX manual pages. Formatting is done in background so that
31 ;; you can continue to use your Emacs while processing is going on.
32 ;;
33 ;; The mode also supports hypertext-like following of manual page SEE
34 ;; ALSO references, and other features. See below or do `?' in a
35 ;; manual page buffer for details.
36
37 ;; ========== Credits and History ==========
38 ;; In mid 1991, several people posted some interesting improvements to
39 ;; man.el from the standard emacs 18.57 distribution. I liked many of
40 ;; these, but wanted everthing in one single package, so I decided
41 ;; to encorporate them into a single manual browsing mode. While
42 ;; much of the code here has been rewritten, and some features added,
43 ;; these folks deserve lots of credit for providing the initial
44 ;; excellent packages on which this one is based.
45
46 ;; Nick Duffek <duffek@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>, posted a very nice
47 ;; improvement which retrieved and cleaned the manpages in a
48 ;; background process, and which correctly deciphered such options as
49 ;; man -k.
50
51 ;; Eric Rose <erose@jessica.stanford.edu>, submitted manual.el which
52 ;; provided a very nice manual browsing mode.
53
54 ;; This package was available as `superman.el' from the LCD package
55 ;; for some time before it was accepted into Emacs 19. The entry
56 ;; point and some other names have been changed to make it a drop-in
57 ;; replacement for the old man.el package.
58
59 ;; ========== Features ==========
60 ;; + Runs "man" in the background and pipes the results through a
61 ;; series of sed and awk scripts so that all retrieving and cleaning
62 ;; is done in the background. The cleaning commands are configurable.
63 ;; + Syntax is the same as Un*x man
64 ;; + Functionality is the same as Un*x man, including "man -k" and
65 ;; "man <section>", etc.
66 ;; + Provides a manual browsing mode with keybindings for traversing
67 ;; the sections of a manpage, following references in the SEE ALSO
68 ;; section, and more.
69 ;; + Multiple manpages created with the same man command are put into
70 ;; a narrowed buffer circular list.
