man-page-conversion-20051208 This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely be needed in a few cases). This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams. In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is a more comprehensive conversion. This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining mess.

=head1 SYNOPSIS
pretty-html-synopsis-20060228 Implement proper synopsis wrapping for HTML generation. This was done in three pieces. First, add HTML-specific tags to the POD to mark the synopsis for HTML purposes so that we can apply style information to it. Second, update the style sheet to indent all lines except for the first in the synopsis section. Third, add the appropriate S<> tags around option and argument pairs so that we don't wrap between the option and its argument. Unfortunately, due to the <I<foo>> style that looks nicer for other reasons, we have to use the very verbose S<<< >>>. Oh well.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
man8-editing-pass-20051213 This completes the initial editing pass of the section eight man pages. Only small amounts of content editing has been done. Some known problems have been noted in README, but there will doubtless be others, as well as some lingering formatting problems. However, the quality should now be good enough for general public review. Some of the section eight man pages were really supposed to be section one, the package apropros and package help commands are too useless to document, and a few of the difficult-to-name section five man pages have now acquired names.
2005-12-13 19:21:13 +00:00
The B<bos help> command displays the complete online help entry (short
description and syntax statement) for each command operation code
specified by the B<-topic> argument. If the B<-topic> argument is omitted,
the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the
online help entry for every B<bos> command.
