# NAME

wizd — automatically correct typographical errors in man pages

# SYNOPSIS

wizd |

# DESCRIPTION

wizd automatically checks and corrects spelling errors, usage problems with mdoc(7) macros, and other typographical errors in man pages.

wizd is invoked by any cvs(1) commit to a man page. A standalone mode is also available by sending mail to <wiz@NetBSD.org>.

wizd also performs periodic sanity checks on the distribution set lists. E-mail alerts will be triggered if the build installs files that are marked as obsolete and therefore get automatically removed.

# SEE ALSO

# HISTORY

wizd appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

# CAVEATS

wizd is not only copyrighted, but also registered.

# BUGS

Sleeps sometimes.
