# Generates `lf.1` man page using man macros with `go doc` output.
#
# This script is called in `doc.go` using `go generate` to generate a man page
# formatted with man macros from the documentation. A few additional sections
# such as `NAME` and `SYNOPSIS` are added to comply with man page conventions.
#
# Conversion logic implemented here from godoc output to man macros should not
# be considered compliant, as such it has inexact assumptions such as the use
# of spaces over tabs along with various corner cases that are not handled
# properly like character escaping. The intention here is to come up with
# something that can convert the current content in the documentation. For this
# reason, it is recommended to check the output after generation especially
# when the documentation is changed in a significant way.
