lopsub/lopsub.7.m4, branch master

Switch to https.

2024-05-10T01:20:37Z

All URLs of the source code work as well with the https transport, which is generally preferred. The links in the files below debian/ will be adjusted in a separate commit.

lopsub.7: Avoid the term "all-permissive license".

2019-05-11T11:34:05Z

As pointed out by Thorsten Alteholz, we use the term without really explaining it. Replace it with "public domain", which is well-defined and conveys the intended meaning.

lopsub.7: Move installation instructions from man page to README.

2019-04-22T13:33:46Z

As pointed out by Adam Borowski, installation instructions don't really belong in the man page. This commit converts the instructions from roff format to plain text which is added at the bottom of the existing README file. We keep the link to the git repository though, and add a few more links to related resources. Requested-by: Adam Borowski

lopsub.7: Add NAME section.

2019-03-31T10:59:39Z

Lintian complains about this because the NAME sections of all man pages are parsed to generate the index for apropos(1) and co. Each manual page should start with a "NAME" section, which lists the name and a brief description of the page separated by "\-". The "NAME" section is parsed by lexgrog and used to generate a database that's queried by commands like apropos and whatis. This tag indicates that lexgrog was unable to parse the NAME section of this manual page.

Add link to homepage.

It's OK to only link to the home page as the lopsub project page is linked there.

The long option parser for subcommands (lopsub).

2016-10-23T12:16:46Z

This library was under development for over a year and is now ready for prime time. The code is believed to be mature and no bugs are known at this time. The API is fully documented and stable, and no new features are planned. Future fixes and enhancements will take backwards compatibility into account. The code used to be part of the paraslash package, but has been moved to its own repository. All prior commits have been discarded, so this repository contains only the final result as a single commit. The input files for the lopsubgen utility and the config file parser are based on flex. The API documentation is created with gendoc.m4, a simple m4 file which is part of this repository. Documentation includes the three man pages lopsub.7, lopsubgen.1 and lopsub.suite.5 which describe different aspects of the library. There is also an example application called lopsubex which illustrates various features of the library.
