This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same way, while a new target named params has been added. This new target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of printing it on the console. - Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org) get getservbyport() out of the inner loop Change-Id: Ie6ad5226fa2621ff9f0dee8782ea48f9443d2091

.Dt MAN.CGI 7
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm man.cgi
|
|
.Nd cgi for manpage query and display
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script queries and displays manual pages.
|
|
It interfaces with
|
|
.Xr mandocdb 8
|
|
databases cached with
|
|
.Xr catman 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
create a manual cache in
|
|
.Xr catman 8 .
|
|
Assign this directory to the environment variable
|
|
.Ev CACHE_DIR ,
|
|
defaulting to
|
|
.Pa /cache/man.cgi .
|
|
Copy the
|
|
.Pa man.cgi
|
|
script into your CGI directory (see
|
|
.Sx FILES
|
|
for other relevant files).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multiple
|
|
.Xr catman 8
|
|
trees may be managed by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
directories under
|
|
.Ev CACHE_DIR
|
|
containing
|
|
.Pa etc/catman.conf
|
|
are identified as
|
|
.Qq manroots .
|
|
The path of a manroot under
|
|
.Ev CACHE_DIR
|
|
is converted to a name by replacing path separators with spaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Thus, if
|
|
.Ev CACHE_DIR
|
|
is the default
|
|
.Pa /cache/man.cgi ,
|
|
the web-server is jailed to
|
|
.Pa /var/www ,
|
|
and cache subdirectories
|
|
.Pa ./foo/1
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa ./bar/2
|
|
contain
|
|
.Pa etc/catman.conf ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will assign these to manroots
|
|
.Qq foo 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Qq bar 2 ,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
These names will appear as choices when searching for manuals.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
finds only one manroot, or none, then the selection box is omitted.
|
|
If no manroot is specified during search, the first manroot is used by
|
|
default.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ev CACHE_DIR
|
|
The absolute path of the
|
|
.Xr catman 8
|
|
cache directory.
|
|
This must not have a trailing slash.
|
|
.It Ev CSS_DIR
|
|
Prepended to CSS file links in outputted HTML files.
|
|
This must not have a trailing slash.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Pa etc/catman.conf
|
|
Built by
|
|
.Xr catman 8
|
|
and must exist at least once under the configuration directory root.
|
|
.It Pa man.css
|
|
Should be visible in the server document root or within
|
|
.Ev CSS_DIR .
|
|
Included in each page after
|
|
.Pa man-cgi.css ,
|
|
ostensibly for
|
|
.Xr mandoc 1
|
|
HTML output styling.
|
|
.It Pa man.cgi.css
|
|
Should be visible in the server document root or within
|
|
.Ev CSS_DIR .
|
|
Included in each page, ostensibly for general
|
|
.Nm
|
|
styling.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script is call-compatible with queries from the traditional
|
|
.Pa man.cgi
|
|
script by Wolfram Schneider.
|
|
However, the results may not be quite the same.

.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
If you're running in a jailed web-server, make sure the
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
directory exists and is writable.
|
|
The databases may need this for scratch space.
