GETNAME(8)              OpenBSD System Manager's Manual             GETNAME(8)

NAME
     getNAME - get NAME sections from manual source for whatis/apropos data



SYNOPSIS
     getNAME [-itw] path [path ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The getNAME program looks inside manual sources to find the name and of
     the manual.  It can be used to create a table of contents, report the
     style of manual, or to create an introduction manual.  By default, get-
     NAME returns data for use in an apropos(1) database.  getNAME is designed
     to be called from makewhatis(8) or other manual grovelling tools, not to
     be used directly.

OPTIONS
     The following options are available:

     -i      The -i option returns information useful in creating an introduc-
             tion manual.  See intro(1),  intro(2),  etc. for examples.

     -t      The -t option returns information useful for creating a table of
             contents.

     -w      The -w option determines whether traditional man (``OLD''), new
             mandoc (``NEW''), or some unknown (``UNKNOWN'') format exists.

HISTORY
     The getNAME command first appeared 2.0BSD

BUGS
     It would be nice if getNAME could deal with preformatted manuals.
