We would be happy to try to help you if you would be willing to tell us exactly what it is that you're try8ing to do. You have made three posts in this thread and what you want has changed in each post.

What code have you written?

What is it failing to do that you want to do?

How are these dynamic values supposed to be determined?

In what directory are these subfolders (i.e., directories) to be found?

Are all of the directories in the parent directory to be processed, is there a list of specific directories to be processed, do the directories to be processed have a certain naming convention that separates them from other directories in the parent directory? In other words; how do you identify what directories are to be processed and how many dynamic files are to be concatenated from each one?

catman

CATMAN(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 CATMAN(1)

NAME

     catman -- preformat man pages

SYNOPSIS

     catman [-fLnrv] [directories ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The catman utility preformats all the man pages in directories using the nroff -man command.  Directories may be separated by colons instead
     of spaces.  If no directories are specified, the contents of the MANPATH environment variable is used, or if that is not set, the default
     directory /usr/share/man is processed.

     The options are as follows:

     -f      Force all man pages to be reformatted even if the corresponding cat page is newer.

     -L      Process only localized subdirectories corresponding to the locale specified in the standard environment variables.

     -n      Print out what would be done instead of performing any formatting.

     -r      Scan for and remove ``junk'' files that are neither man pages nor their corresponding formatted cat pages.

     -v      Cause catman to be more verbose about what it is doing.

ENVIRONMENT

     LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
	      These variables control what subdirectories will be processed if the -L option is used.

     MACHINE  If set, overrides the current machine type when searching for machine specific man page subdirectories.

     MACHINE_ARCH
	      If set, overrides the current architecture when searching for architecture specific man page subdirectories.

     MANPATH  Determines the set of directories to be processed if none are given on the command line.

FILES

     /usr/share/man  Default directory to process if the MANPATH environment variable is not set.

EXIT STATUS

     The catman utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     makewhatis(1), man(1), nroff(1)

HISTORY

     A previous version of the catman command appeared in FreeBSD 2.1.
