X.TH CLMAN 1
X.SH NAME
CLMAN -- Clean Up Man Output, Leaving No Backspaces in File
CLMAN was written by Richard Conn
X.SH SYNOPSIS
CLMAN accepts its input from STDIN and directs its output to
STDOUT. It is intended to be used with the following forms:
X.nf
man entry | clman >result <-- output to file
man entry | clman <-- output to console
X.fi
The resulting output contains no backspace characters and
is quite readable.
X.SH DESCRIPTION
CLMAN removes some of the formatted output from MAN in order to
better display the result on a CRT (or non-backspacing device). It
handles two cases:
Boldface -- MAN generates <char> <backspace> <char>
when it wants to bold face; CLMAN removes the
<backspace> <char> part of the output
Underline -- MAN generates '_' <backspace> <char> when
it wants to underline something; CLMAN removes
the '_' <backspace> part of the output
X.SH FILES
X.nf
clman.c -- source code
X.fi
X.SH DIAGNOSTICS
CLMAN generates no diagnostic error messages.
X.SH BUGS
CLMAN contains no known bugs. The exact form of all man output
is unknown to the author, however, and the cases of underline and boldface
are the only two accounted for by CLMAN. It is possible that information
may be lost if backspaces are used in a sense other than that noted by
the author. CLMAN has run successfully against a number of cases tested
so far, including 'man man', and no problems are known at this time.
