I have a situation where man(1) displays old man pages (from xx.1 files) even though newer man pages exists (in xx.1.gz files).
Example ('ls -l' in /usr/share/man/man3/)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4486 25 Dec 2005 zlib.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2089 24 Sep 2007 zlib.3.gz
I can of course just gunzip the gz files myself, but wonder about this:
(1) How did this happen? Is it because I've upgraded several times (to Tiger, to Leopard)? (The reason I ask this is of course that I want to avoid it happening again.)
(2) Is there a tool that gunzips man pages for me, so I don't have to write my own script?
Regards,
Martin F
