* Enter dangling .so links into the database, to avoid harassingIngo Schwarze2019-05-031-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | users of man(1) about running makewhatis(8), which won't help. Seeing the content of the broken .so request might even help users to figure out how to access the manual page they want. Fixing the last issue reported by Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> as part of https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 .
* In fs_lookup(), use stat(2) rather than access(2) to check file existence.Ingo Schwarze2019-05-032-12/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Some mildly broken real-world packages on some operating systems contain dangling symlinks in manual page directories: pestering the user to run makewhatis(8) makes no sense because that won't help. On the other hand, missing read permissions deserve ugly error messages and are unlikely to occur in practice anyway. Fixing an issue reported by Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> as part of https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 .
* In man(1) mode with a specific section requested,Ingo Schwarze2019-05-032-17/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | try harder to find the best match. Use this order of preference: 1. The section in both the directory name and the file name matches exactly. 2. The section in the file name matches exactly. 3. The section in the directory name matches exactly. 4. Neither of them matches exactly. The latter can happen when mansearch() finds substring matches or when the second .Dt argument mismatches the dir and file names. Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> reported that this caused real problems on Void Linux, like "man 3 readline" showing readline(3m). See https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 for details.
* In man(1) mode, when the first argument starts with a digit,Ingo Schwarze2019-05-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | optionally followed by a letter, and at least one more argument follows, interpret the first argument as a section name even when additional characters follow after the digit and letter. This is needed because many operating systems have section names consisting of a digit followed by more than one letter - for example Illumos, Solaris, Linux, even NetBSD. There is very little risk of regressions: in the whole corpus of manual pages on man.openbsd.org, there isn't a single manual page name starting with a digit. And even if programs like "0ad" or "4channels" had manual pages, "man 0ad" and "man -a cat 0ad" would still work, only "man -a 0ad cat" will fail with "man: No entry for cat in section 0ad of the manual." Fixing one of the issues reported by Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> as part of https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 .
* In man(1) mode, i.e. when asking for a single manual page by name,Ingo Schwarze2019-04-304-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | prefer file name matches over .Dt/.TH matches over first NAME matches over later NAME matches, but do not change the ordering for apropos(1) nor for man -a. This reverts main.c rev. 1.310 and mansearch.h rev. 1.29 and includes a partial revert of mansearch.c rev. 1.79. Regression reported by Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> as part of https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 .
* In HTML output, allow switching the desired font for subsequentIngo Schwarze2019-04-305-67/+35

While here, garbage collect redundant enum htmlfont and reduce code duplication in print_text(). Fixing an assertion failure reported by Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> in pmRegisterDerived(3) from libpcp3-dev.

* Implement the roff .break request (break out of a .while loop).Ingo Schwarze2019-04-215-12/+73
| | | | | | | Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz> found it in an ancient groffer(1) manual page (version 1.19) on MacOS X Mojave. Having .break not implemented wasn't a particularly bright idea because obviously, it tended to cause infinite loops.

* While we do encourage simplicity in the sense of writing plain '-'Ingo Schwarze2019-03-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | for hyphen-minus, soften the language a bit: writing \- for it is not wrong, and people started sending us patches to replace \- with '-' in existing manual pages, which is not a worthwhile change unless the \- is used at a place where it doesn't belong. OK jmc@
* Set the maximum column index in a tbl(7) to the maximum *right* edgeIngo Schwarze2019-03-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of any cell span, not to the maximum *left* edge, which may be smaller if the last column of the table is only reached by horizontal spans, but not by any regular cell in any row of the table. Otherwise, the algorithm calculating column widths accessed memomy after the end of the colwidth[] array, while it was trying to handle the rightmost column(s). Crash reported by Jason Thorpe <thorpej at NetBSD> via https://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=54069 and via Thomas Klausner (wiz@). Christos@ Zoulas sent a (correct, but slightly confusing) patch. The patch i'm committing here is easier to understand.

| | | | | | | the line input buffer to a length of one byte, do not write one byte past the end of the line input buffer. Minimal code to show the bug: printf ".ds X\n.X\n\n" | MALLOC_OPTIONS=C mandoc Bug found by bentley@ in the sysutils/rancid par(1) manual page.

* The header file "html.h" uses enum roff_tok,Ingo Schwarze2019-03-174-43/+64
| | | | | | so "roff.h" must be included before it. Diff from bcallah@ tweaked by me; he found the bug by compiling with pcc.
* When drawing a horizontal line in tbl(7) UTF-8 output, it is notIngo Schwarze2019-03-161-12/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sufficient to look at two data rows, but up to three are needed: the one above to identify vertical lines branching off upward, the row itself (in case the line is in a data row rather than a layout line) to figure out the horizontal line style, and the row below to identify vertical lines branching off downward. As an example, bentley@ reported from the mpv(1) manual page that in a tbl(7) having a vertical line in the middle and a horizontal line in the bottom data row, the vertical line extended below the bottom horizontal line.
* Contrary to what the NetBSD attribute(3) manual page suggests,Ingo Schwarze2019-03-132-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | using __dead instead of __attribute__((__noreturn__)) actually hinders portability rather than helping it. Given that mandoc already uses __attribute__ in several files and that in the portable version, ./configure already contains rudimentary support for ignoring it on platforms that do not support it, use __attribute__ directly. This is expected to fix build failures that Stephen Gregoratto <dev at sgregoratto dot me> reported from Arch and Debian Linux.

* For TIOCGWINSZ, #include <termios.h> rather than <sys/termios.h>Ingo Schwarze2019-03-041-1/+1

* Fix the last straggler where the struct roff_node "line" memberIngo Schwarze2019-03-042-5/+1
