Manpage generation was previously manual and prone to drift from actual CLI behavior. This PR automates generation from argparse definitions using
argparse-manpage.Changes
Makefile automation: Added targets for
wheel,manpages,test, andclean. Thewheeltarget depends onmanpagesto ensure manpage is regenerated on builds.argparse integration: Extracted
get_parser()function in__main__.pyforargparse-manpagecompatibility. The manpage is now generated from the actual argument parser definitions.Documentation structure: Added
man/extra-sections.mancontaining EXPRESSIONS, EXAMPLES, and other sections not derivable from argparse. The generatedman/datetimecalc.1combines argparse-derived content with these manual sections.Build artifact handling: Added
man/*.1to.gitignoresince manpages are now generated at build time, not committed to version control.CI integration: Updated
wheel.ymlworkflow to usemake wheelinstead of directuv buildcalls.💬 We'd love your input! Share your thoughts on Copilot coding agent in our 2 minute survey.
