Re: call for help with man pages
Do you have a "template" or something we can work off of? If you had a standard
file that I could then plug in different binary names and info, that would help
out immensly (i.e., I'd prefer not to have to learn docbook for just a few man
pages, but I'm fine with making up descriptions and copying/pasting command-line
info). Thanks!
