wiz d367bf3547 Grammar and mdoc fixes. 2002-03-08 22:10:00 +00:00
jdolecek 534dd161ea If called without arguments, parse /etc/man.conf and regenerate the whatis 
databases specified there. By default, the individual databases
are actually generated by forked children in this case, for
performance reasons. This feature can be switched off by new -f flag.
If the configuration file can't be parsed or doesn't contain any
_whatdb entries, the code falls back to /usr/share/man as before.

Added -C, which allows to specify alternate configuration file. This
  is compatible with apropos(1) and whatis(1) flag of same name.

Update manpage accordingly and document behaviour a bit better.
Also add a HISTORY section, hopefully correct (done using CVS logs).

This solves toolchain/5231 by Tim Rightnour and bin/7696 by Allen Briggs.

which is a little bit faster.

lukem dea85dc703 * remove duplicate inode entries, so files with multiple hard links are 
only parsed once; results in a 33% speedup on a p5-200
* order SEE ALSO by section

mrg 3f5509a860 use the updated getNAME(8) now that it has a reasonable output. this 
makes makewhatis several orders of magnitude faster for manual sources,
as we now avoid a costly `nroff -mandoc' for each one...
