Man pages for offline documentation reading

[cuppajoe123]

Hello,
As a Linux user, man pages are generally a very helpful resource for reading documentation, but I noticed that SDL2 does not have any man pages available. The package I installed came with HTML pages from the wiki, but I would prefer to be able to read the docs from the command line. Has there been any discussion on creating man pages, or is there not enough interest?

We talked about it a long time ago, but there wasn't any feasible way to do this and keep the documentation up to date.

Now that the wiki is bridged to the SDL headers, this might be more feasible, but Ryan and I don't have time to do something like this. You're welcome to submit a pull request that adds this functionality if you want.

Okay, try this:

git clone https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL SDL
git clone https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdlwiki sdlwiki
./SDL/build-scripts/wikiheaders.pl SDL sdlwiki --copy-to-manpages
man SDL/man/SDL_OpenAudio.3
