#
# For nroff man pages, the areas of text to extract are delimited with:
#
# '\"@help: subjectdir/helpfile
# '\"@endhelp
#
# start in column one. The text between these markers is extracted and stored
# in help/subjectdir/help. The file must not exists, this is done to enforced
# cleaning out the directories before help file generation is started, thus
# removing any stale files. The extracted text is run through:
#
# nroff -man|col -xb {col -b on BSD derived systems}
#
# If there is other text to include in the helpfile, but not in the manual
# page, the text, along with nroff formatting commands, may be included using:
#
# '\"@:Other text to include in the help page.
#
# A entry in the brief file, used by apropos my be included by:
#
# '\"@brief: Short, one line description
#
# These brief request must occur with in the bounds of a help section.
#
# If some header text, such as nroff macros, need to be preappended to the
# text streem before it is run through nroff, then that text can be bracketed
# with:
#
# '\"@header
# '\"@endheader
#
# If multiple header blocks are encountered, they will all be preappended.
#
# For TCL script files, which are indentified because they end in ".tcl",
# the text to be extracted is delimited by:
#
# #@help: subjectdir/helpfile
# #@endhelp
#
# And brief lines are in the form:
#
# #@brief: Short, one line description
#
# The only processing done on text extracted from .tcl files it to replace
# the # in column one with a space.
#
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# To generate help:
#
# buildhelp helpDir brief.brf filelist
#
# o helpDir is the help tree root directory. helpDir should exists, but any
# subdirectories that don't exists will be created. helpDir should be
# cleaned up before the start of manual page generation, as this program
# will not overwrite existing files.
# o brief.brf is the name of the brief file to create form the @brief entries.
# It must have an extension of ".brf". It will be created in helpDir.
# o filelist are the nroff manual pages, or .tcl, .tlib files to extract
# the help files from. If the suffix is not .tcl or .tlib, a nroff manual
# page is assumed.
