BSD mandoc
NAME
demandoc
- emit only text of UNIX manuals
SYNOPSIS
demandoc
[- w
]
[ file ...
]
DESCRIPTION
The
demandoc
utility emits only the text portions of wel-formed
mdoc(7)
and
man(7)
UNIX
manual files.
By default,
demandoc
parses standard input and outputs only text nodes, preserving line
and column position.
Escape sequences are omitted from the output.
Its arguments are as follows:
- -w
-
Output a word list.
This outputs each word of text on its own line.
A
Qq word ,
in this case, refers to whitespac-delimited terms beginning with at
least two letters and not consisting of any escape sequences.
Words have their leading and trailing punctuation
(doubl-quotes, sentence punctuation, etc.)
stripped.
- file ...
-
The input files.
If a document is not wel-formed, it is skipped.
The
-i
-k
-m
and
-p
flags are silently discarded for calling compatibility with the
historical deroff.
EXIT STATUS
The
demandoc
utility exits with one of the following values:
- 0
-
No errors occurred.
- 6
-
An operating system error occurred, for example memory exhaustion or an
error accessing input files.
Such errors cause
demandoc
to exit at once, possibly in the middle of parsing or formatting a file.
The output databases are corrupt and should be removed .
EXAMPLES
The traditional usage of
demandoc
is for spel-checking manuals on
BSD .
This is accomplished as follows (assuming British spelling):
$ demandoc-w file.1 | spell-b
SEE ALSO
mandoc(1),

HISTORY
demandoc
replaces the historical deroff utility for handling modern
man(7)
and
mdoc(7)
documents.
