The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a 149terminal using nroff(1), normally via man(1), or printing using troff(1). 150 151I<input> is the file to read for POD source (the POD can be embedded in 152code). If I<input> isn't given, it defaults to C<STDIN>. I<output>, if 153given, is the file to which to write the formatted output. If I<output> 154isn't given, the formatted output is written to C<STDOUT>. Several POD 155files can be processed in the same B<pod2man> invocation (saving module 156load and compile times) by providing multiple pairs of I<input> and 157I<output> files on the command line. 158 159B<--section>, B<--release>, B<--center>, B<--date>, and B<--official> can 160be used to set the headers and footers to use; if not given, Pod::Man will 161assume various defaults. See below or L<Pod::Man> for details. 162 163B<pod2man> assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font 164named C<CW>. If yours is called something else (like C<CR>), use 165B<--fixed> to specify it. This generally only matters for troff output 166for printing. Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and 167bold italic fixed-width output. 168 169Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man, and therefore pod2man also 170takes care of formatting func(), func(n), and simple variable references 171like $foo or @bar so you don't have to use code escapes for them; complex 172expressions like C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. 173It also translates dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes 174long dashes--like this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," and 175takes care of several other troff-specific tweaks. See L<Pod::Man> for 176complete information. 177 178=head1 OPTIONS 179 180=over 4 181 182=item B<-c> I<string>, B<--center>=I<string> 183 184Sets the centered page header for the C<.TH> macro to I<string>. The 185default is "User Contributed Perl Documentation", but also see 186B<--official> below. 187 188=item B<-d> I<string>, B<--date>=I<string> 189 190Set the left-hand footer string for the C<.TH> macro to I<string>. By 191default, the modification date of the input file will be used, or the 192current date if input comes from C<STDIN>, and will be based on UTC (so 193that the output will be reproducible regardless of local time zone). 194 195=item B<--errors>=I<style> 196 197Set the error handling style. C<die> says to throw an exception on any 198POD formatting error. C<stderr> says to report errors on standard error, 199but not to throw an exception. C<pod> says to include a POD ERRORS 200section in the resulting documentation summarizing the errors. C<none> 201ignores POD errors entirely, as much as possible. 202 203The default is C<die>. 204 205=item B<--fixed>=I<font> 206 207The fixed-width font to use for verbatim text and code. Defaults to 208C<CW>. Some systems may want C<CR> instead. Only matters for troff(1) 209output. 210 211=item B<--fixedbold>=I<font> 212 213Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to C<CB>. Only matters 214for troff(1) output. 215 216=item B<--fixeditalic>=I<font> 217 218Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer, 219since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic 220version). Defaults to C<CI>. Only matters for troff(1) output. 221 222=item B<--fixedbolditalic>=I<font> 223 224Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font. 225Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to C<CB>. Some 226systems (such as Solaris) have this font available as C<CX>. Only matters 227for troff(1) output. 228 229=item B<-h>, B<--help> 230 231Print out usage information. 232 233=item B<-l>, B<--lax> 234 235No longer used. B<pod2man> used to check its input for validity as a 236manual page, but this should now be done by L<podchecker(1)> instead. 237Accepted for backward compatibility; this option no longer does anything. 238 239=item B<-n> I<name>, B<--name>=I<name> 240 241Set the name of the manual page for the C<.TH> macro to I<name>. Without 242this option, the manual name is set to the uppercased base name of the 243file being converted unless the manual section is 3, in which case the 244path is parsed to see if it is a Perl module path. If it is, a path like 245C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into a name like C<Pod::Man>. This 246option, if given, overrides any automatic determination of the name. 247 248Although one does not have to follow this convention, be aware that the 249convention for UNIX man pages for commands is for the man page title to be 250in all-uppercase, even if the command isn't. 251 252This option is probably not useful when converting multiple POD files at 253once. 254 255When converting POD source from standard input, this option is required, 256since there's otherwise no way to know what to use as the name of the 257manual page. 258 259=item B<--nourls> 260 261Normally, LZ<><> formatting codes with a URL but anchor text are formatted 262to show both the anchor text and the URL. In other words: 263 264 L<foo|http://example.com/> 265 266is formatted as: 267 268 foo <http://example.com/> 269 270This flag, if given, suppresses the URL when anchor text is given, so this 271example would be formatted as just C<foo>. This can produce less 272cluttered output in cases where the URLs are not particularly important. 273 274=item B<-o>, B<--official> 275 276Set the default header to indicate that this page is part of the standard 277Perl release, if B<--center> is not also given. 278 279=item B<-q> I<quotes>, B<--quotes>=I<quotes> 280 281Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text to I<quotes>. If 282I<quotes> is a single character, it is used as both the left and right 283quote. Otherwise, it is split in half, and the first half of the string 284is used as the left quote and the second is used as the right quote. 285 286I<quotes> may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no 287quote marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for 288troff output). 289 290=item B<-r> I<version>, B<--release>=I<version> 291 292Set the centered footer for the C<.TH> macro to I<version>. By default, 293this is set to the version of Perl you run B<pod2man> under. Setting this 294to the empty string will cause some *roff implementations to use the 295system default value. 296 297Note that some system C<an> macro sets assume that the centered footer 298will be a modification date and will prepend something like "Last 299modified: ". If this is the case for your target system, you may want to 300set B<--release> to the last modified date and B<--date> to the version 301number. 302 303=item B<-s> I<string>, B<--section>=I<string> 304 305Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering 306convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for 307functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for 308miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot 309of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file 310formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others 311use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers 312that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3. 313 314By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in C<.pm>, in 315which case section 3 will be selected. 316 317=item B<--stderr> 318 319By default, B<pod2man> dies if any errors are detected in the POD input. 320If B<--stderr> is given and no B<--errors> flag is present, errors are 321sent to standard error, but B<pod2man> does not abort. This is equivalent 322to C<--errors=stderr> and is supported for backward compatibility. 323 324=item B<-u>, B<--utf8> 325 326This option allows B<pod2man> to output literal UTF-8 characters. 327On OpenBSD, it is enabled by default and can be disabled with 328B<--no-utf8>, in which case non-ASCII characters are converted 329either to *roff escape sequences or to C<X>. 330 331Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD 332source should be properly declared unless it's US-ASCII. Pod::Simple will 333attempt to guess the encoding and may be successful if it's Latin-1 or 334UTF-8, but it will warn, which by default results in a B<pod2man> failure. 335Use the C<=encoding> command to declare the encoding. See L<perlpod(1)> 336for more information. 337 338=item B<-v>, B<--verbose> 339 340Print out the name of each output file as it is being generated. 341 342=back 343 344=head1 EXIT STATUS 345 346As long as all documents processed result in some output, even if that 347output includes errata (a C<POD ERRORS> section generated with 348C<--errors=pod>), B<pod2man> will exit with status 0. If any of the 349documents being processed do not result in an output document, B<pod2man> 350will exit with status 1. If there are syntax errors in a POD document 351being processed and the error handling style is set to the default of 352C<die>, B<pod2man> will abort immediately with exit status 255. 353 354=head1 DIAGNOSTICS 355 356If B<pod2man> fails with errors, see L<Pod::Man> and L<Pod::Simple> for 357information about what those errors might mean. 358 359=head1 EXAMPLES 360 361 pod2man program > program.1 362 pod2man SomeModule.pm /usr/perl/man/man3/SomeModule.3 363 pod2man --section=7 note.pod > note.7 364 365If you would like to print out a lot of man page continuously, you probably 366want to set the C and D registers to set contiguous page numbering and 367even/odd paging, at least on some versions of man(7). 368 369 troff -man -rC1 -rD1 perl.1 perldata.1 perlsyn.1 ... 370 371To get index entries on C<STDERR>, turn on the F register, as in: 372 373 troff -man -rF1 perl.1 374 375The indexing merely outputs messages via C<.tm> for each major page, 376section, subsection, item, and any C<XE<lt>E<gt>> directives.
