commit c42fadd3d445734ffe09ffd790d985b6c03159d7 (patch) parent 0ca53be167a7c5d711b668074501b43362848460 Author: Alex Karle <alex@alexkarle.com> Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2022 11:08:42 -0400 acme: Add `wiseman` command to bridge plan9 and unix manuals I've found that /usr/bin/man doesn't render plan9 man pages quite right, so this command is a middleman (hm that might have been a better name) to see if it can find the man page in plan9 first.
