2013-06-30Man pages: Use similar syntax for synopsis as in xz.Lasse Collin1-3/+3
The man pages of lzmainfo, xzmore, and xzdec had similar constructs as the man page of xz had before the commit eb6ca9854b8eb9fbf72497c1cf608d6b19d2d494. Eric S. Raymond didn't mention these man pages in his bug report, but it's nice to be consistent.
2010-09-27Major man page updates.Lasse Collin1-4/+5
Lots of content was updated on the xz man page. Technical improvements: - Start a new sentence on a new line. - Use fairly short lines. - Use constant-width font for examples (where supported). - Some minor cleanups. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some language fixes.
2009-10-16Escape dashes in xzmore.1Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
A minus sign is larger, easier to see in a printout, and more likely to use the same glyph as ASCII hyphen-minus in a terminal than a hyphen. Since broken manual pagers do not find hyphens when the user searches for a hyphen-minus, minus signs are also easier to search for. So use minus signs instead of hyphens to render sample terminal output.
2009-07-05Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based onLasse Collin1-38/+26
the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository. configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by the scripts. This should ease portability on systems which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh. xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files. xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files. The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.
