DWWW-FORMAT-MAN(8)						      Debian							DWWW-FORMAT-MAN(8)

NAME
dwww-format-man - batch format manual pages for dwww SYNOPSIS
dwww-format-man [-v|--verbose] directory ... DESCRIPTION
dwww-format-man looks for manual pages in the directories named on the command line. It formats each manual page, and puts the formatted version into the dwww document cache. System administrator's can run dwww-format-man if they want to make it faster to retrieve manual pages via dwww. If dwww-format-man is not run, dwww will automatically format manual pages not in its cache. Long pages take a few moments to format, but rarely so slow that it is worth running. dwww-format-man runs dwww-convert(8) with privileges of DWWW_CGIUSER (see dwww(7). OPTIONS
-v, --verbose Print each proceeded file name. SEE ALSO
dwww(7), dwww-convert(8). AUTHOR
