How desirable is it to convert the remaining 969 man pages in the
tree that use -man to use mdoc macros instead?
man macros:
$ find . -name '*.[1-9]' -exec grep -l '^\.SH' {} + | wc -l
969
$ find . -name '*.[1-9]' -exec grep -l '^\.SH' {} + \
| while read F; do dirname $F; done | uniq | wc -l
146
mdoc macros:
$ find . -name '*.[1-9]' -exec grep -l '^\.Nm' {} + | wc -l
3373
$ find . -name '*.[1-9]' -exec grep -l '^\.Nm' {} +
| while read F; do dirname $F; done | uniq | wc -l
928
(YMMV. My tree is old and there are pages out there with odd
extensions.)
ISTM some tedious string slinging with e.g. Perl might bring these pages
into the modern era, thereby facilitating indexing etc.
Many of them are imported, and in most cases I doubt the upstream would
regard mdoc as progress. Even so, I count some 49 that appear to be
native sons of NetBSD.
Attached is a small summary that counts the -man files by directory for
your perusal.
