MANCK(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		      MANCK(1)

NAME
     manck — check manual pages

SYNOPSIS
     manck [-d] [-h -|-?] [-help] [-bin path] [-exclude_files file]
	   [-exclude_pages file] [-u=section] [-i -|-include includepath]
	   [-xref] [-files] [-M manpath] [manpages ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Manck check manual pages. Currently supported section FILES, NAME, SEE
     ALSO, and SYNOPSIS.  Manck checks all man pages in the directory
     /usr/share/man if no manpages defined. See option -M

     The options are as follows:

	   -d -|-debug
		       Be more verbose about what will be done.	 For a single
		       -d option, print more errors and warnings. If the
		       option -d has been specified at least twice, print ver‐
		       bose errors and warnings.  One -d is recommend for a
		       thorough review.

	   -h -|-?

	   -help       Give a help on the command usage and exit.

	   -bin path   Look for binaries in path without a corresponding man‐
		       page. Colons in path are allowed. Default
		       /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

	   -exclude_files file
		       file contains a list of missing files that are ``ok''
		       to be missing in the FILES section.

	   -exclude_pages file
		       file contains a list of missing manpages that are
		       ``ok'' to be missing.

	   -files      Scan entire man page for file names that have been
		       specified with the ``.Pa'' or ``.It Pa'' macros. This
		       option is independent from section FILES, so it is pos‐
		       sible that manck may report errors twice.

	   -i -|-include includepath
		       Path where include files located.  Colons in
		       includepath are allowed. Default
		       /usr/include:/usr/local/include:/usr/X11/include.

	   -u=section  Don't check section section.

	   -xref       Scan entire man page for references to other man pages
		       that have been referenced with the ``.Xr'' or ``.Fn''
		       macros. This option is independent from the SEE ALSO
		       section, so it is possible that manck may report errors
		       twice.

	   -M manpath  Use manpath as the directory where manpages are
		       located. Colons in manpath are allowed. Default
		       /usr/share/man

EXAMPLES
	   $ manck -bin

     Test if all binaries in /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin have their own man‐
     pages

	   $ manck /usr/share/man/man1/z*

     Check all manpages with leading 'z' in /usr/share/man/man1.

	   $ manck

     Recursively check all manpages in /usr/share/man.

FILES
	   /usr/share/man      directory for manual pages.

ENVIRONMENT
     $MANPATH		 directories for searching cross references.

SEE ALSO
     man(1), hier(7).

     manck appeared in late July 1995.
