All warnings where about unnecessary quoting. The scriptlet
below will tell what was wrong.
for I in ./top/top.1 ./ps/ps.1 ./*.[0-9]; do
echo "== $I warnings =="
man --warnings=all $I > /dev/null
done
This should probably be turned to 'make check' script.

.SH NAME
|
|

|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B kill
|
|
[options] <pid> [...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The default signal for kill is TERM. Use
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
to list available signals. Particularly useful signals include HUP,
|
|
INT, KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0. Alternate signals may be specified in
|
|
three ways:
|
|
.BR \-9 ", " \-SIGKILL
|
|
or
|
|
.BR \-KILL .
|
|
Negative PID values may be used to choose whole process groups; see
|
|
the PGID column in ps command output. A PID of
|
|
.B \-1
|
|
is special; it indicates all processes except the kill process itself
|
|
and init.
|
|
