# 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.

`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.

# SIGNALS

`wizd` responds to the following signals:

  Examine a man page for errors. The man page and particular errors in question may be specified in standard internet mail format.

`wizd` additionally sometimes delivers the following signals to other committer processes:

`SIGWIZD`
  An error was detected in a man page.
