Preview of man.cgi.

[Kristaps Dzonsons]

Hi,

I've put up a preview of man.cgi as found in our repository:

  http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/man.cgi

The syntax for the "whatis" and "apropos" functions are as given in the 
repository apropos(1) and whatis(1) (regular expressions, logical 
operators, and so on).  However, this syntax is backwards-compatible 
with the legacy apropos(1) and whatis(1).

To create this, I did the following in the mdocml source directory after 
enabling cgi-bin in Apache (this is on OpenBSD-5.0, as manuals are 
installed with sources):

  % make
  % sudo ./mandocdb # recreate the mandocdb(8)s
  % sudo ./catman -f # cache manuals in the chroot() jail
  % sudo make installcgi # install CGI and CSS

(Ok, I didn't do this exactly because BSD.lv uses virtual hosts.  In 
reality, I ran "catman -f -o /usr/vhosts/mdocml.bsd.lv/www/cache, then 
created an .htaccess file in the cgi-bin setting CACHE_DIR to the above. 
  But I use the above on my stock OpenBSD box (plus CGI) all the time -- 
no need for any more than the above.)

Take care,

Kristaps

P.S., you'll also pull up my /usr/local/man directory in those results.
