repackman(ADM)


repackman -- convert man pages to packed format

Syntax

/usr/man/bin/repackman -z | -Z | -

Description

Manual pages distributed with SCO® UNIX® System V Release 3.2 Operating System Version 4.0 are supplied in compress -H format: the man command uses uncompress to read .Z pages. However, earlier versions of SCO UNIX do not support this format. You can use repackman for three different operations as defined by the mutually exclusive options:

-z
convert manual pages on earlier versions of SCO UNIX, in the path defined by MANPATH, to packed (see pack(C)) format

-Z
convert manual pages on earlier versions of SCO UNIX, in the path defined by MANPATH to compress -H (see compress(C)) format

-
convert manual pages on earlier versions of SCO UNIX, in the path defined by MANPATH to unpacked, uncompressed format

Limitations

If there are two or more versions of a file; for example, a compressed and a packed version, the older version is removed.

Use of repackman may cause fully installed MAN packages to be reported by custom(ADM) or fixperm(ADM) as partially installed; this is because repackman causes filename extensions to be altered.
