From "man ..." ("groff -ww ..."):
<groff: setpci.8>:2: warning: macro `IX' not defined
<groff: setpci.8>:151: warning: escape character ignored before `I'
Ellipsis at end of line protected with "\&".
The macro "IX" is not part of the man(doc)-macros.
####
General considerations
a) Manuals should usually only be left justified. Use ".ad l"
as the first regular command.
b) Each sentence should begin on a new line. The conventions
about the amount of space between sentences are different. This
also makes a check on the number of space characters between
words easier.
c) Separate numbers from units with a (no-break) space. A
no-break space can be code 0xA0, "\ " (\<space>), or "\~"
(groff).
d) Use macros "TS/TE" for tables with more than two columns.
Then use
'\" t
as the first line in the source to tell "man" to use the "tbl"
preprocessor.
e) Protect last period (full stop) in abbreviations with "\&",
if it is or might be (through new formatting of source) at the
end of line, if it is also not an end of sentence.

There are two kinds of operations: reads and writes. To read a register, just
specify
its name. Writes have the form
-.IR name = value , value ...
+.IR name = value , value ...\&

Each of the previous formats can be followed by \fB+offset\fP to add an offset
(a hex number) to the address. This feature can be useful for addressing of

Finally, you should append a width specifier \fB.B\fP, \fB.W\fP, or \fB.L\fP
to choose
how many bytes (1, 2, or 4) should be transferred. The width can be omitted if
you are
accessing a named register whose width is well known.
