A wise man once told me, “Finding the right documentation is half the solution”, so I decided to make this page, which includes the NAME section of every tool in FreeBSD base.
The table below is auto-generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
PATH_DIRS="/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin"
: ${srcpath:=/usr/src}
echo > noman
(cd ${srcpath} && \
find bin \
sbin \
usr.bin \
usr.sbin \
cddl \
contrib \
gnu \
-name Makefile \
| xargs grep -nE '\{BINDIR\}|PROG=' > ${OLDPWD}/src.txt \
)
for path in $PATH_DIRS;
do
printf 'inside `%s`, sorted alphabetically\n' "$path"
for prog in `ls $path`;
do
src=$(grep -m1 -F -w "${prog}" src.txt | cut -d : -f 1 | sed -e 's/Makefile//')
printf '||<5%%>[[%s|src]]' "https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/${src}"
printf '||<40%%>'
man $prog 2>>noman | col -bx | awk '/^NAME/{f=1;next};/^SYNO/{f=0};/^DESCR/{f=0};/^DEPR/{f=0};/^QUERY/{f=0};f;' | tr '\n' ' '
printf "||\n"
done | sed -e 's/ - /||/' -e 's/ – /||/' -e 's/ -- /||/' -e 's/ */ /g' | sort -u
done
cat noman | sed -e 's/$/\n/'
