To get the groff version from an asciidoc man page (example for a dummy man page filename.1.adoc):
-asciidoctor -b manpage \
- -a release-version=2.37 \
- -a adjtime_path=/etc/adjtime \
- -a docdir=/usr/share/doc \
- -a runstatedir=/run \
- -D output_directory \
- filename.1.adoc
+ asciidoctor -b manpage \
+ -a release-version=2.37 \
+ -a adjtime_path=/etc/adjtime \
+ -a docdir=/usr/share/doc \
+ -a runstatedir=/run \
+ -D output_directory \
+ filename.1.adoc
To get the translated versions, add an extra option which includes translation.adoc:
- -a translation
+ -a translation
The "-a" options are applicable to certain man pages. However, if the mentioned
variable is unused, they don't produce an error message.
