Hey,
As a maintainer of a few ports, I would like to be able to write man pages
too. Is there a guide to writing man pages? I'm looking for a description of
the format, a set of rules and guidelines, etc.
For now I need this knowledge specifically for writing a man page for the
`orionctl' script that is installed with the port java/orion, the Orion J2EE
Application Server.
Ernst
