DWWW-FORMAT-MAN(8)

✨ NAME ✨

dwww-format-man — bestie, this is the batch manual-page formatter for dwww 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dwww-format-man [-v|--verbose] directory ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: dwww-format-man goes hunting for manual pages inside the directories you name on the command line. It formats every single one of them and drops the formatted version straight into the dwww document cache. ✨

System administrators can run dwww-format-man if they want to make retrieving manual pages via dwww faster. no cap.

But here's the tea — if you don't run dwww-format-man, dwww will automatically format manual pages that aren't in its cache anyway. So it's not like the world ends. 🙈

Long pages take a few moments to format, but rarely so slow that it is worth running. Like, it's giving "nice to have," not "emergency." 💀

Also important: dwww-format-man runs dwww-convert(8) with the privileges of DWWW_CGIUSER (see dwww(7)). 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -v, --verbose — prints each processed file name, so you can watch the little guys go by one at a time 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

dwww(7), dwww-convert(8).
