Detailed Description

Man page content merging and orchestration.

This module orchestrates the complete man page generation pipeline:

1. Load resources (template and content files)
2. Parse existing sections to preserve manual content
3. Generate or merge new sections
4. Write final output with proper formatting

Handles three section types:

• AUTO: Fully auto-generated, regenerated each time
• MANUAL: User-maintained, never modified by generator
• MERGE: Intelligent merge of auto-generated and manual content

manpage_merger_merge_environment()

char * manpage_merger_merge_environment	(	const options_config_t *	config,
		const parsed_section_t *	existing_section
	)

Merge environment variables from auto-generated and manual sources.

Takes environment variables from the options config and intelligently merges them with existing manual environment documentation (if any).

Handles deduplication and sorting of environment variable names while preserving manual descriptions where they exist.

Parameters

[in]	config	Options config with auto-generated environment variables
[in]	existing_section	Existing section with manual documentation (can be NULL)

Returns

Newly allocated merged content (caller must free)

Note

Caller must free the returned string

manpage_merger_merge_options()

char * manpage_merger_merge_options	(	const options_config_t *	config,
		const parsed_section_t *	existing_section
	)

Merge auto-generated options into section content.

Takes auto-generated options content from config and intelligently merges it with existing manual options (if any). Removes duplicates by option name while preserving manual descriptions.

Currently returns the auto-generated content as-is. In a full implementation, this would parse both auto and manual option lists and merge them.

Parameters

[in]	config	Options config with auto-generated options
[in]	existing_section	Existing section with manual options (can be NULL)

Returns

Newly allocated merged content (caller must free)

Note

Caller must free the returned string

manpage_merger_merge_positional()

char * manpage_merger_merge_positional	(	const options_config_t *	config,
		const parsed_section_t *	existing_section
	)

Merge positional arguments and examples.

Takes auto-generated positional arguments and examples and merges with existing manual content.

Parameters

[in]	config	Options config with auto-generated positional args
[in]	existing_section	Existing section (can be NULL)

Returns

Newly allocated merged content (caller must free)

Note

Caller must free the returned string
