While certainly true, that wasn't the question, though; building and running mandoc works even on Solaris 9 (= SunOS 5.9) and on AIX; not sure whether HP-UX was ever tested. The question was on which systems the native man(1) utility might be unable to cope with manual pages in mdoc(7) format. According to my testing on the OpenCSW cluster, the native man(1) does handle mdoc(7) input on Solaris 11.3, which is no surprise because the manual page of Solaris 11.3 man(1) says: Source Format Reference Manual pages are marked up with either nroff (see groff(1)) or SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) tags (see sgml(5)). The man command recognizes the type of markup and processes the file accordingly. In contrast, it appears that Solaris 10 did not yet use groff by default for manual page display. That's why is said that Solaris 10 might still need versions of manual pages converted from mdoc(7) to man(7). Yours, Ingo -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mandoc.bsd.lv
