It is intended that this example can be used as a template when writing a new manual page.

p The .Fn example function takes two arguments: .Fa ptr and .Fa mode . The argument .Fa mode may have one of the following values: l -tag -width EXAMPLE_ONE t Dv EXAMPLE_ONE First example of a defined variable. .Dv EXAMPLE_ONE is described below. t Dv EXAMPLE_TWO Second example. .El

p The above value are defined in .Aq Pa example.h as follows: d -literal #define EXAMPLE_ONE 1 #define EXAMPLE_TWO 2 .Ed .Sh RETURN VALUES A 0 value is returned if the operation succeeds, otherwise .Fn example returns -1 and the global variable .Va errno indicates the reason for the falure. .Sh ENVIRONMENT The .Fn example library function ignores the .Ev EXAMPLE environment variable. .Sh FILES l -tag -width /dev/null -compact t Pa /dev/null Example of a file in the .Sx FILES section. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr example 1 , .Xr example 4 , .Xr mdoc 7 , .Xr mdoc.samples 7 .Sh STANDARDS If the command conforms to some standard, such as .St -p1003.2 or .St -ansiC , it should be noted here. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS None. .Sh ERRORS .Fn Example will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL One of the arguments passed to .Fn example was invalid. t Bq Er EPERM The caller did not have permission to use the .Fn example function. .El .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page example first appeared in .Fx 3.0 . .Sh AUTHOR This manual page was written by Mike Pritchard .Aq mpp@FreeBSD.ORG . .Sh BUGS The actual code for this function is vaporware.
