150
151=head1 DESCRIPTION
152
153B<pod2man> is a front-end for Pod::Man, using it to generate *roff input
154from POD source.  The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a
155terminal using nroff(1), normally via man(1), or printing using troff(1).
156
157I<input> is the file to read for POD source (the POD can be embedded in
158code).  If I<input> isn't given, it defaults to C<STDIN>.  I<output>, if
159given, is the file to which to write the formatted output.  If I<output>
160isn't given, the formatted output is written to C<STDOUT>.  Several POD
161files can be processed in the same B<pod2man> invocation (saving module
162load and compile times) by providing multiple pairs of I<input> and
163I<output> files on the command line.
164
165B<--section>, B<--release>, B<--center>, B<--date>, and B<--official> can
166be used to set the headers and footers to use; if not given, Pod::Man will
167assume various defaults.  See below or L<Pod::Man> for details.
168
169B<pod2man> assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font
170named C<CW>.  If yours is called something else (like C<CR>), use
171B<--fixed> to specify it.  This generally only matters for troff output
172for printing.  Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and
173bold italic fixed-width output.
174
175Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man, and therefore pod2man also
176takes care of formatting func(), func(n), and simple variable references
177like $foo or @bar so you don't have to use code escapes for them; complex
178expressions like C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though.
179It also translates dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes
180long dashes--like this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," and
181takes care of several other troff-specific tweaks.  See L<Pod::Man> for
182complete information.
183
184=head1 OPTIONS
185
186=over 4
187
188=item B<-c> I<string>, B<--center>=I<string>
189
190Sets the centered page header for the C<.TH> macro to I<string>.  The
191default is "User Contributed Perl Documentation", but also see
192B<--official> below.
193
194=item B<-d> I<string>, B<--date>=I<string>
195
196Set the left-hand footer string for the C<.TH> macro to I<string>.  By
197default, the modification date of the input file will be used, or the
198current date if input comes from C<STDIN>, and will be based on UTC (so
199that the output will be reproducible regardless of local time zone).
200
201=item B<--errors>=I<style>
202
203Set the error handling style.  C<die> says to throw an exception on any
204POD formatting error.  C<stderr> says to report errors on standard error,
205but not to throw an exception.  C<pod> says to include a POD ERRORS
206section in the resulting documentation summarizing the errors.  C<none>
207ignores POD errors entirely, as much as possible.
208
209The default is C<die>.
210
211=item B<--fixed>=I<font>
212
213The fixed-width font to use for verbatim text and code.  Defaults to
214C<CW>.  Some systems may want C<CR> instead.  Only matters for troff(1)
215output.
216
217=item B<--fixedbold>=I<font>
218
219Bold version of the fixed-width font.  Defaults to C<CB>.  Only matters
220for troff(1) output.
221
222=item B<--fixeditalic>=I<font>
223
224Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
225since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
226version).  Defaults to C<CI>.  Only matters for troff(1) output.
227
228=item B<--fixedbolditalic>=I<font>
229
230Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
231Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to C<CB>.  Some
232systems (such as Solaris) have this font available as C<CX>.  Only matters
233for troff(1) output.
234
235=item B<-h>, B<--help>
236
237Print out usage information.
238
239=item B<-l>, B<--lax>
240
241No longer used.  B<pod2man> used to check its input for validity as a
242manual page, but this should now be done by L<podchecker(1)> instead.
243Accepted for backward compatibility; this option no longer does anything.
244
245=item B<--lquote>=I<quote>
246
247=item B<--rquote>=I<quote>
248
249Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text.  B<--lquote> sets the
250left quote mark and B<--rquote> sets the right quote mark.  Either may also
251be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote mark is added
252on that side of CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
253output).
254
255Also see the B<--quotes> option, which can be used to set both quotes at once.
256If both B<--quotes> and one of the other options is set, B<--lquote> or
257B<--rquote> overrides B<--quotes>.
258
259=item B<-n> I<name>, B<--name>=I<name>
260
261Set the name of the manual page for the C<.TH> macro to I<name>.  Without
262this option, the manual name is set to the uppercased base name of the
263file being converted unless the manual section is 3, in which case the
264path is parsed to see if it is a Perl module path.  If it is, a path like
265C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into a name like C<Pod::Man>.  This
266option, if given, overrides any automatic determination of the name.
267
268Although one does not have to follow this convention, be aware that the
269convention for UNIX man pages for commands is for the man page title to be
270in all-uppercase, even if the command isn't.
271
272This option is probably not useful when converting multiple POD files at
273once.
274
275When converting POD source from standard input, the name will be set to
276C<STDIN> if this option is not provided.  Providing this option is strongly
277recommended to set a meaningful manual page name.
278
279=item B<--nourls>
280
281Normally, LZ<><> formatting codes with a URL but anchor text are formatted
282to show both the anchor text and the URL.  In other words:
283
284    L<foo|http://example.com/>
285
286is formatted as:
287
288    foo <http://example.com/>
289
290This flag, if given, suppresses the URL when anchor text is given, so this
291example would be formatted as just C<foo>.  This can produce less
292cluttered output in cases where the URLs are not particularly important.
293
294=item B<-o>, B<--official>
295
296Set the default header to indicate that this page is part of the standard
297Perl release, if B<--center> is not also given.
298
299=item B<-q> I<quotes>, B<--quotes>=I<quotes>
300
301Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text to I<quotes>.  If
302I<quotes> is a single character, it is used as both the left and right
303quote.  Otherwise, it is split in half, and the first half of the string
304is used as the left quote and the second is used as the right quote.
305
306I<quotes> may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no
307quote marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for
308troff output).
309
310Also see the B<--lquote> and B<--rquote> options, which can be used to set the
311left and right quotes independently.  If both B<--quotes> and one of the other
312options is set, B<--lquote> or B<--rquote> overrides B<--quotes>.
313
314=item B<-r> I<version>, B<--release>=I<version>
315
316Set the centered footer for the C<.TH> macro to I<version>.  By default,
317this is set to the version of Perl you run B<pod2man> under.  Setting this
318to the empty string will cause some *roff implementations to use the
319system default value.
320
321Note that some system C<an> macro sets assume that the centered footer
322will be a modification date and will prepend something like "Last
323modified: ".  If this is the case for your target system, you may want to
324set B<--release> to the last modified date and B<--date> to the version
325number.
326
327=item B<-s> I<string>, B<--section>=I<string>
328
329Set the section for the C<.TH> macro.  The standard section numbering
330convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
331functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
332miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands.  There is a lot
333of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
334formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices.  Still others
335use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both.  About the only section numbers
336that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
337
338By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in C<.pm>, in
339which case section 3 will be selected.
340
341=item B<--stderr>
342
343By default, B<pod2man> dies if any errors are detected in the POD input.
344If B<--stderr> is given and no B<--errors> flag is present, errors are
345sent to standard error, but B<pod2man> does not abort.  This is equivalent
346to C<--errors=stderr> and is supported for backward compatibility.
347
348=item B<-u>, B<--utf8>
349
350This option allows B<pod2man> to output literal UTF-8 characters.
351On OpenBSD, it is enabled by default and can be disabled with
352B<--no-utf8>, in which case non-ASCII characters are converted
353either to *roff escape sequences or to C<X>.
354
355Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD
356source should be properly declared unless it's US-ASCII.  Pod::Simple will
357attempt to guess the encoding and may be successful if it's Latin-1 or
358UTF-8, but it will warn, which by default results in a B<pod2man> failure.
359Use the C<=encoding> command to declare the encoding.  See L<perlpod(1)>
360for more information.
361
362=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
363
364Print out the name of each output file as it is being generated.
365
366=back
367
368=head1 EXIT STATUS
369
370As long as all documents processed result in some output, even if that
371output includes errata (a C<POD ERRORS> section generated with
372C<--errors=pod>), B<pod2man> will exit with status 0.  If any of the
373documents being processed do not result in an output document, B<pod2man>
374will exit with status 1.  If there are syntax errors in a POD document
375being processed and the error handling style is set to the default of
376C<die>, B<pod2man> will abort immediately with exit status 255.
377
378=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
379
380If B<pod2man> fails with errors, see L<Pod::Man> and L<Pod::Simple> for
381information about what those errors might mean.
382
383=head1 EXAMPLES
384
385    pod2man program > program.1
386    pod2man SomeModule.pm /usr/perl/man/man3/SomeModule.3
387    pod2man --section=7 note.pod > note.7
388
389If you would like to print out a lot of man page continuously, you probably
390want to set the C and D registers to set contiguous page numbering and
391even/odd paging, at least on some versions of man(7).
392
393    troff -man -rC1 -rD1 perl.1 perldata.1 perlsyn.1 ...
394
395To get index entries on C<STDERR>, turn on the F register, as in:
396
397    troff -man -rF1 perl.1
398
399The indexing merely outputs messages via C<.tm> for each major page,
400section, subsection, item, and any C<XE<lt>E<gt>> directives.  See
401L<Pod::Man> for more details.
