| - | MAN -- Display Sysop' | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | MAN [section] [topic] | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | The MAN command is used to access the sysop' | ||
| - | consists of a collection of pages, each covering a different | ||
| - | command or topic. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The MAN pages are designed for sysop use, and usually give | ||
| - | more detail than the corresponding HELP pages. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The manual is divided into several sections as follows: | ||
| - | |||
| - | | ||
| - | | ||
| - | 1 General Commands | ||
| - | 2 Chat Server Commands | ||
| - | 3 PZTDOS commands | ||
| - | 4 Mailbox commands | ||
| - | 6 Installation & Configuration Topics | ||
| - | 7 Configuration Directives | ||
| - | 8 Configuration / System Files. | ||
| - | 9 Miscellaneous Topics | ||
| - | |||
| - | When used from the mailbox command line, MAN by default shows | ||
| - | only the pages in section 4. Pages from other sections may be | ||
| - | displayed using the [section] argument. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Use MAN SECTIONS to list the sections. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Entering MAN alone displays a list of available topics in | ||
| - | section 4. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To read a specific page in section 4, enter MAN followed by | ||
| - | the topic for which you require help. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To list topics in any other section, enter MAN followed by the | ||
| - | section number. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To read a topic in a section other than 4, enter MAN followed | ||
| - | by a space, the section number, a space then the topic. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If a topic name contains wildcards, all matching topic names | ||
| - | in the section are displayed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | MAN LC | ||
| - | MAN 7 List the topics in section 7 | ||
| - | MAN 7 MAXTT Display section 7 page for MAXTT directive | ||
| - | MAN 1 I* List section 1 topics begining with ' | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | The following conventions are used in MAN pages: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < > | ||
| - | enclosed within them represent any piece of text | ||
| - | typed after the command. | ||
| - | of the argument. | ||
| - | |||
| - | [ ] | ||
| - | which is not always present. If used within a | ||
| - | command name (e.g. N[ODES]), this indicates that | ||
| - | the command may be abbreviated to a minimum form | ||
| - | while remaining unique. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Sysop-only. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Manual files are normal text files, with the extension | ||
| - | changed to " | ||
| - | simple text editor such as Notepad (windows) or Leafpad, nano | ||
| - | etc (Linux). | ||
| - | |||
| - | All MAN files are located within the MAN directory, which | ||
| - | itself is in the directory containing XRouter. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As MAN files are for use only by the sysop, there is no need | ||
| - | for separate directories for alternate language versions. | ||
| - | Even if the MAN files are translated to a different language, | ||
| - | they must always be situated in the MAN directory, not in a | ||
| - | subdirectory thereof | ||
| - | |||
| - | Filenames, including the extensions, MUST be in UPPER CASE. | ||
| - | Lower case filenames and files without the .MAN extension are | ||
| - | ignored. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Within the .MAN files, lines beginning with a semicolon ';' | ||
| - | are not displayed, so you can use them for comments, such as | ||
| - | file modification details. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Manual files can be viewed from the console using < | ||
| - | followed by <M>. This browser window is only around 76 | ||
| - | characters wide, so try to keep the lines shorter than this, | ||
| - | to preserve formatting. In any case, lines longer than 72 | ||
| - | characters are bad practice, typopgraphically-speaking. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Although most commands may be abbreviated, | ||
| - | possible for the MAN command to correctly identify the | ||
| - | required page from an abbreviated argument. | ||
| - | is acceptable, whereas "MAN IM" is not. Use wildcards if | ||
| - | necessary. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Some manual pages are longer than the standard console review | ||
| - | buffer size, and may therefore display only the last 400 or | ||
| - | so lines. However they can be viewed in full via the HTTP | ||
| - | interface, and by using < | ||
| - | console. | ||

| - | The MB (Make Bulletin) command makes a bulletin from a text | ||

| - | command and the bulletin topic, the syntax is similar to the | ||
| - | SB (Send Bulletin) command. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If the filename contains no path, it is expected to be | ||
| - | located in the same directory as the XRouter executable. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If the file is found, the sysop is prompted to enter a | ||
| - | subject for the message. There is no limit on subject length | ||
| - | but please be aware that anything over 32 characters may | ||
| - | cause line-wrap on some mailboxes, or be truncated on others. | ||
| - | |||
| - | After entering the subject, the bulletin is created and | ||
