Author: issyl0 (doc committer) Date: Mon Jun 11 19:05:10 2012 New Revision: 236907 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/236907 Log: Partial merge of r213507 from head: In r178993, the ability to view a man page by giving a path to the man page itself was added, but never documented. Subsequently, the GNU-licensed man(1) and its man page were replaced by BSD licensed implementations, and later on this undocumented functionality was also added to the new BSD-licensed man(1), together with documentation. This is a merge of the documentation part of that commit (r213507) into the GNU-licensed man(1) man page in stable/7, in order to document the available functionality.
