uwe | apropos(1): Use the official spelling for "SQLite".
While here, use .Bx to refer to 3BSD.
|
| 1.22 |
| 17-May-2022 |
uwe | apropos(1): Tweak the description of -1, ... -9, and -s
-s is not for compatibility only, because section names can be
anything. E.g. we have 3lua and 9lua in base. We have rudiments of
3f (for FORTRAN libs). Some packages in pkgsrc also use suffixed 1
and 3 sections.
|
| 1.21 |
| 17-May-2022 |
uwe | apropos(1): use proper -width for the list of options too

| 17-Jun-2016 |
abhinav | branches: 1.18.18;
Fix grammar/spelling at few places.
|
| 1.17 |
| 16-Jun-2016 |
abhinav | Add man.conf(5) and man(1) in the SEE ALSO section.
|
| 1.16 |
| 22-May-2016 |
abhinav | Add options to whatis and apropos to accept custom man.conf.
makemandb(8), man(1) already use -C as an option to take man.conf path,
so use the same option for whatis(1) and apropos(1) for consitency.
apropos was using -C/-c to disable/enable context of the search
matches, change that to -M/-m respectively.
|
| 1.15 |
| 04-Nov-2014 |
snj | Thankfully, apropos returns all results by default these days. Remove
outdated sentence referring to the original (well, old new) limit of 10.
|
| 1.14 |

Wording improvements from Abhinav Upadhyay <er.abhinav.upadhyay@gmail.com>
|
| 1.13 |
| 02-Apr-2013 |
wiz | Bump date.
|
| 1.12 |
| 02-Apr-2013 |
christos | instead of having a format and no format flag, and exposing various formatters,
provide a format enum and expose html formatting too.
|
| 1.11 |
| 29-Mar-2013 |
wiz | Use Ev for environment variables. Improve -n description.
|
| 1.10 |
| 29-Mar-2013 |
christos | - Fix legacy mode to use like instead of match. This loses ranking.
- default to unlimited lines
- fix formatting of legacy mode
|
| 1.9 |
| 29-Mar-2013 |
christos | Don't enumerate all the digit sections
Explain limitations in legacy mode
|
| 1.8 |
| 29-Mar-2013 |
christos | - If the stdout is not a tty, prevent formatting unless forced with -i
- Don't ever page unless asked for with -p
- Introduce "legacy mode" (-l)
1. searches only name and name_desc, prints name(section) - name_description
2. turns off escape formatting (can be forced on with -i)
3. turns off context printing (can be forced on with -c)
- Parse the environment $APROPOS variable as an argument vector.
With these changes one can simply 'export APROPOS=-l' and get the old apropos
behavior.
|
| 1.7 |
| 10-Feb-2013 |
christos | add -r flag to elide tty formatting
|
| 1.6 |
| 06-Oct-2012 |
wiz | Make mandb path configurable. makemandb (and related tools) use
the path from the _mandb variable from man.conf now.
Set _mandb in man.conf to same value as was used before.

njoly | branches: 1.2.2;
Fix makemandb section.
|
| 1.1 |
| 07-Feb-2012 |
joerg | Import the new apropos/whatis.
This code has been developed by Abhinav Upadhyay as part of Google's Summer
of Code 2011. It uses libmandoc to parse man pages and builds a Full
Text Index in a SQLite database. The combination of indexing the full
manual page, filtering out stop words and ranking individual matches
based on the section gives a much improved user experience.
The old makewhatis and friends are kept under MKMAKEMANDB=no for now.

Add reference to whatis(1).
SQLite doesn't use the FTS index for equal ops, so force it to do a FTS
search first. Drops run time by a factor of 6 for "whatis man".

Be a bit more friendly to man pages using the roff .so command by
changing the current directory to the parent of the man -p entry, e.g.
/usr/share/man for /usr/share/man1.
Also handle hyphen replacement if it was used as plain input and no
backslash sequence was used at all in the line.
Add support for apropos -s like in the old apropos. Fix capitalisation.
Add note about optional quotation. From Abhinav Upadhyay.
Merge mandoc.h r1.99 and read.c 1.28 from upstream:
Add mparse_readmem, which allows application to run the parser directly
from memory, e.g. after de-compressing a document.
Add support for compressed man pages in all the usual formats.
Use mmap when dealing with plain files.
Add entries for bzip2 and xz.

PR/54343: Prevent NULL pointers in callback strings; use "*?*" for now to
identify them.
PR bin/54343: We want the callback_args.machine to be NULL if it is not
present in the DB.
The previous commit fixed the problem of allowing apropos to not crash and
produce output even if the database is missing values for certain mandatory
fields, such as name, section etc. Normally we don't expect those values
to be missing in the database but in case of parsing errors it can happen.
However, the machine architecture is an optional field since not all man pages
are hardware specific so that should be allowed to be set to NULL if not
present in the database.
apropos.c: fix pager functionality
Issue reported by Rocky Hotas on NetBSD-Users, patch input from RVP on
same, adjustments by me.
apropos.1: document the PAGER environment variable
apropos(1): use proper -width
apropos(1): use proper -width for the list of options too
apropos(1): Tweak the description of -1, ... -9, and -s
-s is not for compatibility only, because section names can be
anything. E.g. we have 3lua and 9lua in base. We have rudiments of
3f (for FORTRAN libs). Some packages in pkgsrc also use suffixed 1
and 3 sections.
apropos(1): Use the official spelling for "SQLite".
While here, use .Bx to refer to 3BSD.
apropos(1): improve error handling in edge cases
Patch from RVP on NetBSD-Users, with an additional comment tweak by me.
Summary from RVP:
1. Ignore SIGPIPE so that we're not killed in the middle of some
DB operation by a botched $PAGER:
$ env PAGER=3D/non-existent apropos -p ...
2. Return proper exit status in case of write errors:
$ apropos ... >/dev/full || echo fail
