I've built 4.2.8p4 on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris. When built with
--with-locfile=legacy, the man pages do not display correctly.
On Solaris 8+, ntpd/ntpd.1 looks like:
Force IPv4 DNS name resolution. This option must not appear in
combination with any of the following options: ipv6.
Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line
to the IPv4 namespace.
Force IPv6 DNS name resolution.
This
option
must
not
appear
in
com-
bi-
na-
tion
On HP-UX, ntpd/ntpd.1 looks like:
Force IPv4 DNS name resolution. This option must not appear in combination
with any of the following options: ipv6.
Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the
IPv4 namespace.
Force IPv6 DNS name resolution.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the following
options: ipv4.
On AIX, ntpd/ntpd.1 looks like:
Force IPv4 DNS name resolution. This option must not appear in
combination with any of the following options: ipv6.
Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line
to the IPv4 namespace.
Force IPv6 DNS name resolution.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the
following options: ipv4.
If I remove the following from ntpd/ntpd.1, the output looks better:
.de1 NOP
. it 1 an-trap
. if \\n[.$] \,\\$*\/
..
(example)
NAME
-Font]ntpd - NTP daemon program
SYNOPSIS
-Font]ntpd [-Font]-flags]] [-Font]-flag] [-Font]value]]] [-
Font]--option-name][[=| ]-Font]value]]] [ <server1> ...
<serverN> ]
As you can see, [B-Font] isn't interpreted correctly. Is the .if some
GNU-specific extension?
