Modified files:
usr.bin/mandoc : mandocdb.c mdoc_validate.c
Log message:
In the SYNOPSIS, support the input syntax ".Lb libname [...]" with
multiple arguments, to be printed as "/* -lname [...] */" and to be
searched for with the already established syntax "man -k Lb=libname".
Nothing changes outside the SYNOPSIS section.
Output format and database search term format based on ideas from tedu@.
OK deraadt@ and job@, and jmc@ agrees with the direction, too.
Robert Mustacchi <rm at fingolfin dot org> of illumos, a system that
now also recommends mdoc(7) as their default documentation format,
agrees with the direction, too - actually, they have already done
something similar in small numbers of manual pages some years ago,
though not yet in a systematic or consistent way.
Nobody objected when the idea and the diff
was shown on the groff and portable mandoc mailing lists.
