Summary: 0000098: program names in man pages do not match program names
Description: The program names have a \'g\' prefix but the man pages do not. During build of the package the following should work:

for file in cswstage/opt/csw/share/man/man1/*
do
    name=${file##*/g}
    name=${name%.1}
    NAME=$(echo $name | tr \'qwertyuioplkjhgfdsazxcvbnm\' \'QWERTYUIOPLKJHGFDSAZXCVBNM\')
    sed -e s/\\\\\\<$name\\\\\\>/g$name/g -e s/\\\\\\<$NAME\\\\\\>/G$NAME/g < $i > $i.new
    [ -s $file.new ] && mv $file.new $file
done

The same applies to CSW packages: fileutils, findutils, diffutils, textutils and maybe some others. Will this note suffice or should I register the request with each?

[Whoops, make that \" < $file > $file.new\" above.]

Another thought, but which relates to the other packages with the gnaming and not textutils, the example auto edit above won\'t catch the references to other programs, eg, at the bottom of man page for gfind, the \"SEE ALSO\" section doesn\'t refer to the gprogams. ... And the findutils man pages are not in section 1L of the man system.

This lack of gnaming is what is gnackering the windex, isn\'t it?

$ man cat
windex entry incorrect: cat(1) not found.
Reformatting page. Please Wait... done
...

$ man -k md5
...
md5sum md5sum (1) - compute and check MD5 message digest
...
$ man md5sum
windex entry incorrect: md5sum(1) not found.
No manual entry for md5sum.
$

gnash, gnarl, gnaw.
