After seeing mandoc mentioned in the past, I thought I would look into
writing a man page for the Oil shell (http://www.oilshell.org/). I've never
written a man page before but thought I'd try to use some decent tools to
start with.

I'm a little confused about distribution/workflow for distributing man
pages (in general). If osh.1 is an mdoc flavored file, would that be used
(with mandoc -T man) to output a man page that could then be setup when Osh
is installed? Then how do you distinguish those? Oil uses autoconf for some
things, would that get tied into generating/installing the man pages on the
manpath?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I'm not even sure what kind of
documentation I need to look through yet.

Thanks,
Matt
