From 30ac216c64634bf488872256780df226e6293d95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2022 18:30:22 +0000 Subject: In the first example, use "mandoc -a" directly rather "mandoc -l". It feels more natural to me to use -a directly when asking mandoc(1) to use a pager. The reason that "mandoc -l" does exactly the same as "mandoc -a" is that "mandoc" is essentially "man -lc", so the -a implied by -l negates the -c and the -l has no effect because it is already the default for mandoc(1). The more usual command for doing the same is "man -l foo.1 bar.1 ..." but that's off-topic for the mandoc(1) manual page.
