The doclifter program translates documents written in troff macros to DocBook. Lifting documents from presentation level to semantic level is hard, and a really good job requires human polishing. This tool aims to do everything that can be mechanized, and to preserve any troff-level information that might have structural implications in XML comments. This tool does most of the hard parts, but not all. TBL tables diagrams are translated into DocBook table markup and and PIC into SVG, but EQN is not translated. Test loads are included in the distribution. The code has been tested in about the most brutal possible way; it has been run against every single man page in all sections of a full installation of Red Hat 9 with Fedore Core 1 updates. It lifts 96% of 9836 pages without requiring any hand-hacking required.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
