Full Discussion: OSX 10.14 Mojave Commands - 13K+ Total Man Pages in Repository

No.. Need the full page distributions (without symlinks and no hard links if possible), not links to other sites and place.

Links to other sites change, break and are harder to maintain than the distros on site.

I already have written the the code to process most man page formats, and will write more later this year (for the odds ones like AIX, etc).

Plus, many of the pages in our repo are from older UNIXes which are not upgrading. We need the current man page repos from the UNIX and Linux distros which are still actively evolving.

Thanks.

EDIT:

I have no objections if anyone wants to build and maintain a page or two of links to on-line man pages for all varieties of UNIX and Linux. If you do, please include a link to where we can also download the complete man page distribution in (in a tar.gz file for example).

For my project, I need the actual troff / groff formatted man pages, in a directory tree with man pages in sections (directories)...

Like this:

Code:
CYBER-SA:tmp Tim$ cd /usr/share/man

CYBER-SA:man Tim$ ls -l
total 1024
drwxr-xr-x   1339 root  wheel   42848 Oct  6 08:56 man1
drwxr-xr-x    254 root  wheel    8128 Sep 18 23:23 man2
drwxr-xr-x  10340 root  wheel  330880 Sep 18 23:23 man3
drwxr-xr-x     48 root  wheel    1536 Jun 22 15:51 man4
drwxr-xr-x    195 root  wheel    6240 Oct  6 08:56 man5
drwxr-xr-x      3 root  wheel      96 Jun  9 13:18 man6
drwxr-xr-x     54 root  wheel    1728 Aug 29 12:38 man7
drwxr-xr-x    687 root  wheel   21984 Oct  6 08:56 man8
drwxr-xr-x     23 root  wheel     736 Jun 11 09:21 man9
drwxr-xr-x    661 root  wheel   21152 Aug 29 12:38 mann
-rw-r--r--      1 root  wheel  498861 Oct  6 20:55 whatis

And a section directory looks like this (with all files gzipped, if possible, it not, I will gzip them myself):

Code:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    10177 Jul  6 15:44 ab.1
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      280 Jun 10 15:43 accesstool.1

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       19 Jun  9 13:15 alloc.1
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      401 Jun  9 14:21 analyticsd.1

No symbolic links (all should be resolved when tar'ed up)... Thanks.

fdmns

fdmns(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							  fdmns(4)

NAME

       fdmns - contains file domain names and devices

DESCRIPTION

       The  fdmns directory ensures access to file domains by providing symbolic links to every volume in the file domain.  The mkfdmn, rmvol, and
       addvol utilities automatically manage the fdmns directory.  Each file domain is described by its own subdirectory within the  fdmns  direc-
       tory.

       Back  up  the fdmns directory structure regularly using the vdump utility or any other backup utility (dump, tar, cpio). If the contents of
       the fdmns directory are deleted or corrupted, restore the directory from your most recent backup tape.  You must  also  restore	the  fdmns
       directory after installing a new version of the operating system.

       Always  keep  a hardcopy record of each file domain and its associated volumes in case a backup copy of the fdmns directory is unavailable.
       If you have a record, you can reconstruct the fdmns directory structure. The following is a sample fdmns directory:

       total 2 drwxr-x---     2 root	system	  512 Nov 24 18:35 scratch/ drwxr-xr-x	   2 root    system    512 Nov 24 18:35 usr/

	./scratch: total 0 lrwxr-x---	  1 root    system    10 Oct 23 15:13 dsk10c@ ->  /dev/disk/dsk10c  lrwxr-x---	   1  root    system	10
       Oct 24 11:33 dsk11c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk11c lrwxr-x---     1 root	 system     9 Oct 13 18:29 dsk8c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk8c

	./usr:	total  0 lrwxr-x---	1 root	  system     9 Oct 24 10:52 dsk2g@ -> /dev/disk/dsk2c lrwxr-x---     1 root    system	  9 Nov 24
       10:35 dsk9c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk9c

RESTRICTIONS

       Do not remove or modify the contents of this directory.	If the fdmns file becomes corrupted, you can no longer access (or mount) any file-
       set in the file domains.
