https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260724 Bug ID: 260724 Summary: [PATCH] manual pages refer to incorrect sections, to ports, and break mandoc(1) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vvulpes0@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 230452 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=230452&action=edit A patch, as generated by git format-patch against the stable/13 branch Some cross-references in manual pages point to one section while the page in question actually resides in another, such as referencing free(2) instead of free(3). I have corrected many of these. Other pages cross-reference a page that would only exist if a port were installed. I have added pointers to some of them. Others reference commands that do not seem to exist in the base system or in ports, these were left alone. Finally, cxgbetool.8 had a large table rewritten in order to avoid mandoc(1) errors about unsupported macros in tables, thus no longer requiring ports/textproc/groff be installed in order to view its contents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
