Hi.
ukai> Hmm, As I checked your patch, it does not work correctly.
ukai> The following for() loop never run, because at first j = 0, then
ukai> j && lang_table[j].lang will be false. so it would never check lang_table.
I also noticed using your (Fabrizio's) patch, man does segmatation fault
when it is given a non-existing man page. You can check it by "man zzz".
This is caused by "if ( ! *lang ) {" at line 1327. lang has type of (char *),
so this should be "if ( ! lang ) {", I think.

ukai> the followings, shouldn't it?

ukai> With this fix, it works fine for LANG=ja. Thanks!
When I use man-db without the change above (! *lang -> ! lang),
manpages are displayed on "LANG=C" with pager. But on "LANG=ja_JP.ujis",
manpages are displayed without pager.
Here are the output from ps axwf:
(for "LANG=C man ls" :)
3802 p2 T 0:00 \_ man ls
3805 p2 T 0:00 | \_ sh -c /bin/gzip -dc
'/var/cache/man/fsstnd/cat1/ls.1.gz' | { export MAN_PN LESS; MAN_PN='ls(1)';
LESS="$LESS\$-Pm\:\$ix8mPm Manual p
3806 p2 T 0:00 | \_ /bin/gzip -dc

3807 p2 T 0:00 | \_ sh -c /bin/gzip -dc
'/var/cache/man/fsstnd/cat1/ls.1.gz' | { export MAN_PN LESS; MAN_PN='ls(1)';
LESS="$LESS\$-Pm\:\$ix8mPm Manu
3808 p2 T 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/jless -i
3816 p2 R 0:00 \_ ps xwf
(for "LANG=ja_JP.ujis man ls" :)
777 p2 S 0:01 -bash
3787 p2 T 0:00 \_ man ls
3790 p2 T 0:00 | \_ sh -c /usr/bin/zsoelim '/tmp/zman03787aaa' |
/usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tnippon
3791 p2 T 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/zsoelim /tmp/zman03787aaa
3792 p2 T 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tnippon
3793 p2 T 0:00 | \_ troff -msafer -mandoc -Tnippon
3794 p2 T 0:00 | \_ grotty
3800 p2 R 0:00 \_ ps xwf
3801 p2 R 0:00 \_ -bash
and using the change of "[! *lang] -> [! lang]", the manpages are
displayed without pager in both case (either "LANG=C" or "LANG=ja_JP.ujis")
I find that the line "if (troff) {" at 1790 prevent to use pager
when troff is true. And the comment begining at line 1046 say
case 'T':
/* @@@ traditional nroff knows -T,
troff does not (gets ignored).
All incarnations of groff know it.
Why does -T imply -t? */
I wish to know "Why does -T imply -t?" Is it required ?
I am not satisfied if manpages are always shown without pager.
By the way, following this comment, there are lines below.
/* as this is an optional argument */
roff_device = (optarg ? optarg : "ps");
troff = 1;
break;
But there is a line at 478:
static const char args[] = "7DlM:P:S:adfhkVum:p:we:L:cr:";
and a line at 466:
static const char args[] = "7DlM:P:S:adfhkVum:p:tT:we:L:Zcr:X";
Both of these two lines have "T:" as a optstring for getopt_long (at 983),
but manpage of getopt_long say:
optstring is a string containing the legitimate option
characters. If such a character is followed by a colon,
the option requires an argument, so getopt places a
pointer to the following text in the same argv-element, or
the text of the following argv-element, in optarg. Two
colons mean an option takes an optional arg; if there is
text in the current argv-element, it is returned in
optarg, otherwise optarg is set to zero. This is a GNU
extension.
so if "-T" option takes an optional arg, then args[] should have
"T::" as a part of it. (at least, any GNU system)
In fact, you can check it by "man -T ls".
This output the error message "What manual page do you want?".
Again, we can use "-t" explicitly when we needs it, I don't think
it is necessary to imply "-t" by "-T", and let "-t" be default is
not comfortable for me at all.
I attach the patch against original 2.3.10-69i and against
the previous patch from Fabrizio.
Your implementation is cool approach, Fabrizio. But manpages are
important for many novice users and even trifle things such that
man-db does not use pager can easily be obstacle for us.
Please change the behavior of man-db to use pager as default.
Thanks.
