Hi, No, I am in no way interested in X. I am working on a shell, and the idea is to show suggestions for command line options on pressing tab. So let's say on pressing "ls<TAB>", I will get all the command line options for ls command. Now a good idea is to fetch these options from manual pages.
@Larry, I am trying to do same thing with Python. Since I need to parse the structure of OPTIONS section for completions. Any suggestion for parsing man page sections are welcome ?
