Even forgoing that GNU man has $MANWIDTH, why not just use vertical split tmux? It's faster (written in C) and is much more versatile. This would do more or less the same: `tmux new ';' splitw -h man dwm`

I see no alternative to tcvt for the same functionality. Vim and Emacs can do it, but only within vim and emacs.

Terminals are always fun. I wonder if there's a way to do the same with tmux 樂 In Vim you can use :vsplit and :scrollbind, but that works on in, well, Vim. Also suspect you can get pretty close with far less code and curses shizzle. I'll have to try some stuff later.

Actually, mandoc doesn't even look at MANWIDTH; you need to use "man -Owidth=20 page" or "man -Owidth=$COLUMNS page". I'm not entirely sure if there's a way to make it behave like GNU man – I much prefer the mandoc behaviour myself as long lines are so hard to read (especially since MANWIDTH is a "hard width" and it won't shrink if your terminal is too small; at least, it didn't last time I used it but that was years ago). But no idea if the OP is using mandoc or GNU man or anything else.

I have no idea what tcvt is or does. Since you haven't provided any details on that program(?)/script(?), I can only guess. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I searched for "tcvt", and all I found was a Dutch site for something to do with VTOL, and a registry for the TransCatheter Valve Treatment. I am reasonably sure you meant neither. Ciao, Markus

[dev] Tiny VMs and parsers
Hi all, I've been following the book "Crafting Interpreters [1]" to learn how to write my own VM and parser in C and now I'm searching for some tiny/suckless implementations of both VMs and parsers in C, so I can see some other approaches to this question. At this moment I've found this guide from Bartosz Sypytkowski [2], but is only works with int values and lacks the compiler. Which non obfuscated tiny code do you recommend to study as a reference of how simple an interpreted language can be (preferred non lisp, supporting infix notation).
