NAME
demandoc — emit
only text of UNIX manuals
SYNOPSIS
| demandoc | [ -w ] [ file ... ] |
DESCRIPTION
The demandoc utility emits only the text
portions of well-formed mdoc(7) and
man(7)UNIX manual files.
By default, demandoc parses standard input
and outputs only text nodes, preserving line and column position. Escape
sequences are omitted from the output.
Its arguments are as follows:
-wOutput a word list. This outputs each word of text on its own line. A "word", in this case, refers to whitespace-delimited terms beginning with at least two letters and not consisting of any escape sequences. Words have their leading and trailing punctuation (double-quotes, sentence punctuation, etc.) stripped.
- file ...
The input files.
If a document is not well-formed, it is skipped.
The -i, -k,
-m, and -p flags are
silently discarded for calling compatibility with the historical deroff.
EXIT STATUS
The demandoc utility exits with one of the
following values:
- 0
No errors occurred.
- 6
An operating system error occurred, for example memory exhaustion or an error accessing input files. Such errors cause
demandocto exit at once, possibly in the middle of parsing or formatting a file. The output databases are corrupt and should be removed .
EXAMPLES
The traditional usage of demandoc is for
spell-checking manuals on BSD. This is accomplished
as follows (assuming British spelling):

HISTORY
