To expand on the question in the subject: How does one tell `man` not to automatically format man pages to 80 columns? I'm looking for a fairly easy way to do this, or confirmation it would involve internal gymnastics I may not be willing to perform.
The quick fixes which did not work: I ensured COLUMNS is set in the environment, I tried pages which did not have a corresponding catman page, I tried on the console and in X, and I've tried both with my custom (SC_PIXEL_MODE added) and GENERIC kernels. I'm running... #v+ dave@heffalump:~$ uname -a FreeBSD heffalump.weller-fahy.com 8.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Sat Jan 1 10:59:17 CST 2011 r...@heffalump.weller-fahy.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC-SC_PIXEL_MODE i386 #v- This particular installation is running under Virtualbox 3.2.12 r68302 on Mac OS X 10.6.6. Admittedly, this is an annoyance rather than a need, but man is it annoying. Will someone please let me know the simple thing my google-fu has failed to find? Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
