Bug#264118: type-handling man page is missing
tags 264118 + patch
stop
Hi, I've transcribed the README.Debian into a man page. Attached is a
patch that puts the man page into the source tree and removes the
README.Debian.

-type-handling for Debian
-------------------------
-
-The main purpose of this utility is using it in combination with sed to
-generate a debian/control file with architecture lists that dpkg can
-understand.
-
-Syntax: type-handling [-n|--negated] [-r|--reverted] <cpu_list> <system_list>
-
-Input variables:
-
- cpu_list is a list of CPUs as recognised by dpkg-architecture. Each CPU must
- be comma-separated. The string "any" is a wildcard, and will be translated
- to a list of all recognised CPUs.
-
- system_list is the same for systems recognised by dpkg-architecture.
-
-Output:
-
- type-handling will print every dpkg architecture that matches _BOTH_ one of
- the specified CPUs and one of the specified systems.
-
- If the -n option was specified, it will print those that do NOT match
- instead.
-
- If the -r option was specified, it will print a reverted EQUIVALENT of the
- same string by prefixing with '!'. This option has no practical effect and
- is only intended for aesthetical/readability purposes. Note that in some
- situations, the '!' negated string cannot be parsed by dpkg (e.g. in
- Architecture fields) so use with care.
-
-Examples:
-
- $ type-handling i386,powerpc,x86_64 linux-gnu
- i386 powerpc amd64
-
- $ type-handling any linux-gnu
- alpha arm hppa [...] sparc64 amd64
-
- $ type-handling i386 any
- darwin-i386 freebsd-i386 hurd-i386 kfreebsd-i386 knetbsd-i386 i386 netbsd-i386 openbsd-i386

+.TH TYPE-HANDLING 1 "November 2005" "Debian"
+.SH NAME
+type-handling \- dpkg architecture generation script
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBtype-handling\fR [\fB\-n\fR|\fB\-\-negated\fR] [\fB\-r\fR|\fB\-\-reverted\fR] \fIcpu...\fR \fIsystem...\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The main purpose of this utility is using it in combination with \fBsed\fR
+to generate a \fIdebian/control\fR file with architecture lists that \fBdpkg\fR
+can understand. \fIcpu\fR is a CPU as recognized by \fBdpkg-architecture\fR.
+A list of CPUs must be comma-separated. The string \fBany\fR is a wildcard and
+will be translated to a list of all recognised CPUs. \fIsystem\fR is the same
+for systems recognised by \fBdpkg-architecture\fR.
+.PP
+\fBtype-handling\fR will print every \fBdpkg\fR architecture that matches
+\fIboth\fR one of the specified CPUs and one of the specified systems.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-n
+\fBtype-handling\fR will instead print architectures that do \fInot\fR match.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+\fBtype-handling\fR will print a reverted \fIequivalent\fR of the same string
+by prefixing with \fB!\fR. This option has no practical effect and is only
+intended for aesthetical/readability purposes. Note that in some situations,
+the \fB!\fR negated string cannot be parsed by dpkg (e.g., in
+\fBArchitecture\fR fields), so use with care.
