groff treats '-' (the character you get when you hit the "minus" key on the keyboard) as "hyphen", not as "minus". Thus it renders incorrectly in some locales, and line-wraps strangely. groff treats the two-character sequence "\-" as "minus", and the four-character sequence "\(hy" as "hyphen". Details here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/03/msg01481.html This commit replaces every instance of "-" in our manpages where the meaning is "minus" with "\-", so it works right. This fixes many lintian warnings.

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBaxis\fR is one of the Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for LinuxCNC
|
|
It gets run by the runscript usually.

.SH OPTIONS

\fBINIFILE\fR
|
|
The ini file is the main piece of an LinuxCNC configuration. It is not the
|
|
entire configuration; there are various other files that go with it
|
|
(NML files, HAL files, TBL files, VAR files). It is, however, the most
|
|
important one, because it is the file that holds the configuration
|
|
together. It can adjust a lot of parameters itself, but it also tells
|
|
\fBLinuxCNC\fR which other files to load and use.
|
|
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"

|
\fBLinuxCNC(1)\fR

Much more information about LinuxCNC and HAL is available in the LinuxCNC
|
|
and HAL User Manuals, found at /usr/share/doc/LinuxCNC/.
