TODO file for `groffer'
File position: <groff-source>/contrib/groffer/TODO
####### TODO
Revision:
- Revise the `--all' feature to better reflect GNU man.
- The debug function stack is buggy (no effect on normal operation).
- Check main_parse_MANOPT(), not too important.
- Add long option shortcuts.
- The actual replacement `dash' of the POSIX `ash' shell produces
strange errors with the groffer script, while the former `ash'
worked successfully. Are these errors just bugs of `dash'?
Optimization:
- Optimize man path determination in manpath_add_lang_sys() for speed
by building-up the man path only by and by as far as necessary
(not trivial).
- To increase the running speed write part of the groffer shell script
in C/C++.
- Split the groffer.sh shell script into several files for better tests
of the shell compatibility.
Features of external programs:
- Revise option handling of `grog'.
- `gxditview' needs a complete shower.
Documentation:
- Improve the documentation of the search algorithm for man pages in
both the groffer script and the man page `groffer.man'.
- In `groff.man', add more documentation for parts that were taken over
from GNU `man'.
- The documentation in the headers for some function definitions in
`groffer.sh' needs to be updated.
