From 3083b7fbe2bc6e8dcd935b10bb7a165257c5252b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 05:18:09 +0000 Subject: doc: convert to perlpod(1) from Markdown perlpod(1) is already installed by default on Debian and RedHat-based systems; and probably most modern *nixes; pandoc(1) (and Haskell) are not. POD also more standardized than Markdown (which flavor? :P), especially for generating manpages. So save any potential documentation editors some disk space by not forcing them to install Haskell and pandoc. Finally, I'm a mildly proficient in Perl and do not know Haskell at all and have a better chance at reading/hacking the source if the document generator breaks. --- Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 86 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod (limited to 'Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod') diff --git a/Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod b/Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod new file mode 100644 index 0000000..69062b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/dtas-sourceedit.pod @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +% dtas-sourceedit(1) dtas user manual + +=head1 NAME + +dtas-sourceedit - edit parameters of a source decoder + +=head1 SYNOPSYS + +dtas-sourceedit {sox | av | ff} + +=head1 DESCRIPTION + +dtas-sourceedit spawns an editor to allow editing of a source as a YAML file. +See L for details on SOURCEARGS.
