A wise man once told me, "Finding the right documentation is half the solution", so I decided to make this page, which includes the NAME section of every tool in FreeBSD base.

The table below is auto-generated using the following script:

PATH_DIRS="/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin"
: ${srcpath:=/usr/src}

echo > noman
(cd ${srcpath} && \
find bin \
     sbin \
     usr.bin \
     usr.sbin \
     cddl \
     contrib \
     gnu \
  -name Makefile \
  | xargs grep -nE '\{BINDIR\}|PROG=' > ${OLDPWD}/src.txt \
)

for path in $PATH_DIRS;
do
  printf 'inside `%s`, sorted alphabetically\n' "$path"
  for prog in `ls $path`;
  do
    src=$(grep -m1 -F -w "${prog}" src.txt | cut -d : -f 1 | sed -e 's/Makefile//')
    printf '||<5%%>[[%s|src]]' "https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/${src}"
    printf '||<40%%>'
    man $prog 2>>noman | col -bx | awk '/^NAME/{f=1;next};/^SYNO/{f=0};/^DESCR/{f=0};/^DEPR/{f=0};/^QUERY/{f=0};f;' | tr '\n' ' '
    printf "||\n"
  done | sed -e 's/ - /||/' -e 's/ – /||/' -e 's/ -- /||/' -e 's/  */ /g' | sort -u
done

cat noman | sed -e 's/$/\n/'

  1. Some utilities are AMD64-only, so regenerating this table might be a good idea :)

  2. Some paths are not found, so they point to the root of the source tree.
