Hi, i think you'll find the anwer here: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.1
i also agree that one man page and several symlinks is better idea jano -----Original Message----- From: Julien Valroff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 12:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: man pages and symbolic links Hi, I am building a package with several binaries, and would like to know if it is correct to build one unique man page for all the binaries, with symbolic links poiting to the real file? eg.: /usr/share/man/1/binary.1 -> /usr/share/man/1/mainbinary.1.gz Then, 'man binary' would yield to the same result as 'main mainbinary'. dpkg-dev, for example, uses the same contents for several binaries (try man dpkg-genchangelog and man dpkg-gencontrol for example) but not symlinks. All the binaries options would of course be described in this unique man page. Many thanks in advance for your answers!
