Where's the man extension?
« on: November 15, 2015, 11:09:50 PM »
There are so many puns here I don't know where to begin. There's a man for x86, but piCore has no man. Where's man?

I will add man.tcz In the mean time you can read man pages with mc (Midnight Commander).

Busybox supports the man command thought it appears disabled in the 6.1-X / armv6 release.
Does the man command add too much bloat to busybox?

Busybox man is not self-contained, it just launches less and some other tools in a pipe (requiring separate nroff and others).
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
